Close encounter Photograph: Liam Durkin MARY Aldred, the former chief executive of the Committee for Gippsland, has been resoundingly endorsed as the Liberal candidate for Monash at the next federal election, outpolling the current member Russell Broadbent. Ms Aldred, 40, won a clear majority in the first round of voting to defeat Mr Broadbent,72, who has been the local member for the last 19 years, while also briefly serving in the 1990s. Ms Aldred said after the vote on Sunday that it was a tremendous honour and privilege to have the great confidence invested in her by local party branches to represent the Liberal Party in Monash. “I will work my hardest to make a compelling case as the Liberal candidate for Monash at the next election,” she said. “I also want to acknowledge Russell Broadbent and the tremendous contribution he has made to the Gippsland region over 25 years, and I pay my respects to his contribution to the Liberal Party

over that time. It’s a privilege to follow as the next Liberal candidate.” Ms Aldred said she had worked closely with the Liberal branches in Phillip Island, Leongatha, Warragul, the Latrobe Valley and Trafalgar. “I’m deeply humbled by the great support I’ve had from those branches,” she said. Ms Aldred said as a candidate she would work very hard to make the case to local voters on many issues. These included the cost of living, the infrastructure base in Gippsland to handle new population, aged care and health and “make local families feel they are supported”. “In the last 20 years, I’ve been working with not-for-profit organisations, small businesses and healthcare organisations. I have an acute understanding of the issues and I’ll be able to hit the ground running and focus on local issues and will continue to engage with all those local organisations being at farmers markets, speaking with local families in the electorate and seeing

what most matters to them,” she said. As the daughter of a former federal Liberal MP, Ken Aldred, Ms Aldred said she had grown up with politics. “I’ve always been interested in the communities. From a very young age, I’ve been involved in not-for-profit organisations. I have a real passion for small business,” she said. At last year’s federal election, Mr Broadbent’s margin was reduced to 2.9 per cent after preferences after a four per cent swing to Labor. Mr Broadbent is expected to see out the rest of his term until the next federal election. Ms Aldred, a passionate Gippslander, has worked in a number of leadership roles for local business and community organisations over the past 20 years. Graduating with a Master of Business Administration from Federation University Australia in 2018, Ms Aldred has also completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours), a Master of Agribusiness, and is a graduate of the Gippsland Community Leadership Program. She

also completed an apprenticeship at McMillan Training (now Community College Gippsland). Ms Aldred is most well known as the founding chief executive of the Committee for Gippsland (C4G), which represents more than 100 business and community organisations across Gippsland. These range from Phillip Island Nature Park to Burra Foods and Saputo in South Gippsland, to the Latrobe Valley energy sector, Federation University and TAFE, through to manufacturing, health and small businesses in West Gippsland. She has served in many local community and business roles, including the boards of Lifeline Gippsland, Wooryl Lodge in Leongatha, Gippsland Basketball League, Latrobe Regional Hospital, Federation University’s industry advisory board, and is currently a director of Australian Sustainable Hardwoods in Heyfield.

Container Deposit Scheme now underway By TOM HAYES

ONE man's trash could now be his treasure. Earlier this month on Wednesday, November 1 the state government launched the Container Deposit Scheme (CDS). Coordinated by VicReturn, a non-profit entity formed by Lion, Coca-Cola and Asahi Beverages, the scheme aims to make Victoria a leader in beverage container recycling. CDS Vic is part of the Labor Government's $515 million investment to transform the state's waste and recycling system, including the new standardised four-stream waste and recycling system, in hopes of diverting 80 per cent of all materials away from landfill by 2030. Containers that can be deposited for a 10-cent refund include soft drink cans and bottles, plastic and glass water bottles, small milk cartons, beer and cider cans and bottles, sports drink bottles and spirit-based mixed drink bottles. Zone Operators are responsible for establishing and maintaining a network of refund collection points across the state. Visy is the Zone Operator for the North Zone, Return-It for the East Zone and TOMRA Cleanaway for the West Zone. "This is a fantastic initiative! The Container Deposit Scheme not only promotes environmental sustainability, but also supports local community and charity groups in raising vital funds for their organisations," Return-It General Manager, Daniel Paone said. "Collaborations with partners like SES Moe

are commendable, as they showcase the power of community engagement. "Encouraging the community to support these partners is a great way to foster solidarity and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future." Each Zone Operator will have information for consumers on how they can donate to their desired partner. “Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme will be the most accessible and convenient in the country. There will be a mix of refund points that will make it easier than ever for Victorians to recycle containers, to keep them from ending up in our streets, parks and waterways,” VicReturn CEO Jim Round said. “Container refunds can be kept by individuals or donated to Victorian charities, schools and community groups that have registered with the scheme, so I would like to encourage all community groups to register, as this is a great new way to raise funds.” Minister for Environment, Steve Dimopoulos said, "Our new Container Deposit Scheme is now open, which will reduce the amount of litter in Victoria by up to half - contributing to a more sustainable future, while putting money back in the pockets of hardworking Victorians." "CDS Vic will maximise the number of cans, bottles and cartons being recycled into new products and keep them out of landfill." More than 600 jobs will be rolled out around the state, with over 600 refund points to become available within the coming months. Nearly 400 refund points are currently in operation.

Within our region, there are four refund points in the Moe/Newborough region, three in Traralgon, two each in Morwell, Mirboo North, and others in Churchill, Trafalgar and Rosedale. Victoria became the seventh Australian state or territory to introduce the CDS, with other states having implemented it as far back at the 1970s. South Australia rolled out the scheme in 1977, then next was Northern Territory in 2012, and in the last six years every state and territory except Tasmania have introduced the scheme so far. Schemes overseas have proven to be very successful, like Lithuania for example, which is one of the world's best, recovering 70 per cent of containers in the first year, increasing to 90 per cent the following year. Customers can either receive cash for their deposits or choose to donate them to charity groups who register as ‘Donation Partners’. CDS will give not-for-profit organisations such as charities, schools, sports clubs or community organisations new ways to raise funds. One of the local volunteer-led organisations that has opted to join the CDS is SES in Moe. “Vic SES is funded by the state government which covers some of the core needs, but all of the volunteer units also rely heavily on … grants, donations or fundraisers and that ensures that we can get assistance with the purchasing of critical equipment,” an SES spokesperson said. The Moe SES unit is currently raising funds to go towards a new vehicle and other essential equipment, which will now be made easier due to the CDS.

“It’s an opportunity, not just to raise funds for the unit, but also a chance to connect with the community,” the spokesperson said. “We do rely on the community a lot more to raise funds.” There will be a refund point at Moe’s SES unit at 265 Monash Road, Newborough. Latrobe Valley Enterprises in Morwell have opened their fully-operational refund point, but it operates differently to regular regular refund points. What makes LVE's refund point more attractive is the fact that they accept crushed cans and bottles that the machines won't usually take. They have processed over 115,000 containers in the first five days, equivalent to over $11,500 worth of refunds. Latrobe Valley Enterprises' refund point is located at 547 Princes Drive, Morwell. The attraction to the refund points have been massive in the opening days of the scheme, as people seemingly saved mass amounts of bottles and cans for the opening day of the scheme. Seven News reported that the CDS was off to a "shaky start" with the hasty filling of recycling sites. "As a result of this recycling initiative customers may see a slight increase on beverages," a Coles statement read.

Dennis Jones fined for incident By TOM HAYES

DENNIS Jones Engineering and its director, Dennis Jones, have been slapped with one of the biggest fines in WorkSafe history at Melbourne's County Court on Friday, November 10. During October 2021, second-year apprentice Byron Foley was involved in a workplace incident, while working at Dennis Jones Engineering, that left him with a life-changing brain injury. Mr Foley was struck on the head with a steel pipe, while holding a plastic sleeve that steadied the rotating length of steel pipe which was being threaded in a lathe. Mr Foley spent over five months in hospital, where he underwent surgery to get a titanium skull. Dennis Jones Engineering pleaded guilty to one charge under Section 32 of the Occupational

Health and Safety Act (recklessly placing another person who is at a workplace in danger of serious injury). The Morwell-based business was fined $2.1 million for seriously injuring the apprentice. The director, Mr Jones pleaded guilty to one charge under Section 21 (1) and 21 (2) (a) of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (failing to provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and without risks to health). Mr Jones, 56, was fined $140,000, and was handed a five-year Community Corrections Order which included 600 hours of unpaid community service. The total fine of $2.24 million is the secondlargest in WorkSafe history for a workplace incident under Section 32 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

but was defeated by Labor's Christian Zahra in 1998. Mr Broadbent contested McMillan again in 2004 after a redistribution erased the Labor majority and made it notionally Liberal. He was re-elected on 24 November 2007, at the same time as the Coalition lost government and has held the seat ever since. Broadbent served on a wide range of parliamentary committees, including as chair of the standing committees on privileges and members' interests (2013–2019) and treaties (2018–present), and of the select committee into intergenerational welfare dependence (2018–2019). In May 2017, Mr Broadbent resigned from the speaker's panel and his committee chairmanship to protest at the Turnbull government's inaction on aged care. He stated that ministers Greg Hunt and Ken Wyatt had misled him over the construction of a facility at Bunyip within his electorate. Mr Broadbent was identified as a member of the Liberal Party's moderate (or "small-l liberal") wing. During the Howard government, he came to national prominence in advocating better treatment of detainees. He supported not charging long-term detainees for their detention. In December 2017, Mr Broadbent was one of only four members of the House of Representatives to vote against legalising same-sex marriage in Australia. In January 2021 he stated that the Morrison government should support the Uluru Statement from the Heart and move towards constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians. In February 2023, Mr Broadbent and conservative Liberal powerbroker Karina Okotel wrote a book in support of constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians. However, in September 2023, Broadbent ‘backflipped’ and announced that he would vote 'No' in the subsequently unsuccessful referendum.

MS Aldred played a big role in securing state and federal funding for important projects in Gippsland, particularly through the Gippsland Freight Infrastructure Master Plan, which resulted in more than $150 million of identified projects achieve government funding. Following her role at C4G, Ms Aldred was appointed chief executive of the Franchise Council of Australia, an organisation representing more than 500-member small businesses that are part of the $181 billion Australian franchising sector. In her current role as head of government relations for Fujitsu, Ms Aldred has responsibility for working across the Asia Pacific region. Fujitsu undertakes specialised roles in defence and national security, which has provided her with a solid understanding of critical current issues for Australia in national security, defence and cyber security. Mr Broadbent is one of the longest-serving current members of parliament, having served from 1990 to 1993, 1996 to 1998, and since 2004. In February 2022, he made headlines after promoting Ivermectin in parliament as a treatment for COVID-19 , claiming that he and his wife had taken it after testing positive to the virus. Mr Broadbent took a personal decision not to be vaccinated against COVID-19 with any of the available vaccines, and stated that he neither encouraged nor discouraged constituents to get vaccinated. He was one of a handful of Australian MPs who refused to get the COVID-19 vaccination. Mr Broadbent served on the former Pakenham Shire Council from 1981 to 1987, including as shire president from 1984 to 1985. He also served as a commissioner of the Dandenong Valley Authority from 1984 to 1987 and as chairman of the Western Port Development Council from 1985 to 1990.

Council Beat ALMOST every topic seemed to be the matter of debate at the Latrobe City Council meeting last Monday, November 6 at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre. All councillors were in attendance at the GPAC meeting room with a full 60-person capacity gallery. It was a gruelling session as the meeting ran the clock for five hours. Mayor Kellie O'Callaghan, joked that perhaps the council should've organised catering amid the lengthy discussions. Traralgon Golf Course members flocked to speak and listen to council's decision on the Traralgon West development plan after there were concerns that Council was considering rezoning the golf club's land, but the topic was eventually deferred until the December meeting.

Baby steps: Council voted to seek a new lease on the land the Old Methordist Church sits on. File photograph

THE council endorsed the Community Gardens Guidelines to help advise on future community garden projects. With multiple community-organised gardens across the municipality, Cr Tracie Lund said community gardens were becoming increasingly popular, and with the community 'buy in', they can really improve health and wellbeing. The draft guidelines will be accessible on the Council's website.

Flood mapping update

Old Methodist Church future up to VicTrack

THE council unanimously voted to approach VicTrack and seek a new lease on the land the Old Methodist Church sits on. "After a long process, tonight we're here to put in place the first steps of saving and restoring the Old Methodist Church," Cr Darren Howe said. Earlier this year the council allocated $86,000 for the future of the church after collecting 21 submissions with suggestions on potential purposes of the building. Community groups rallied together to save the historic building for community use, with some suggesting it should house a museum. The Council thanked the community for its aid in consultation and will now wait for VicTrack to get on board with the lease.

Letter to state government to review capital improved value assessments of properties on the outskirts

CR Melissa Ferguson's notice of motion on the capital improved values of properties on the outskirts of Latrobe City was passed. Following concern from ratepayers about the uninformed valuations of their homes, the Council will write to the Valuer-General of Victoria and the

Minister responsible for the Department of Transport and Planning. The letter will request a review of the valuation process and criteria used to determine the Capital Improved Value (CIV) for Latrobe Valley outskirt properties. The review will take into account the unique characteristics, economic conditions, and market dynamics of these areas to ensure the valuation process is conducted in a fair manner.

New policies

CR Melissa Ferguson declared a conflict of interest and was not present at the vote to adopt the draft Youth Policy. The policy outlines Council's commitment to young people aged 12 to 25 years - providing guidance around the programs, projects, participation and engagement across the region. Much discussion took place on gendered restrooms and change rooms in Council facilities due to speaker Tayla Ling, who expressed personal concerns about the issue. Cr Sharon Gibson's alternative motion was to defer the vote until some clarity was found on transgender and public restrooms.

Cr Clancey said, "We're talking about a Youth Policy and a Youth Policy has nothing to do with change rooms". "I think the conversation you're having here, we've had it before when we had our public toilet policy," he said. Cr Clancey said the youth leaders of the City were ready to engage and should not be held back for a month deferral as Cr Gibson would propose. Despite lengthy debate, the council unanimously voted to defer the vote for next month's council meeting. The Council's Prevention of Sexual Harassment policy debate again brought out an issue for Cr Gibson in regard to sexual harassment, transgender people and public facilities usage. While debate was extensive with Crs Gibson and Harriman pushing for an alternative to defer the vote, the other councillors, except for Cr Ferguson who abstained, agreed to adopt the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Policy. The policy is available online on the Council website. Council also adopted the Child Safe Policy 2023, superseding all other versions despite a request for deferral on the policy.

COUNCIL will conduct further community consultation before reexhibiting Amendment C131 (flood mapping update). The peer review report made several recommendations that have resulted in changes to the mapping of the overlays, including:  Removing the overlay from land where stormwater flooding is identified as the cause of flooding, not riverine flooding;  Remove the overlays from land where no flood study or an incomplete flood study has been used to justify the mapping;  Update the mapping for the Latrobe River to include the climate change scenario that was available, and;  Proceed with the mapping of the other flood studies that did not include a climate change scenario as they are the ‘best available information’. Council will look to this matter at a future meeting.

Black Spot Program applications

COUNCIL will seek funding from the Australian government's 2024/2025 Black Spot Program. Reviewing crash data, Council officers have identified the Valley's most dangerous local roads. Franklin Street and McNairn Street in Traralgon, Saviges Road in Moe and Vincent Road in Morwell have been identified as four locations that require funding to improve safety. With a fatality occurring on McNairn St and multiple serious injuries occurring on these roads since 2017, Council will endorse applications for funding. The Black Spot Program is a road

safety program administered by the Australian government to fix dangerous roads by treating road locations where motor vehicle accidents are more common.

Chance to heckle Gleeson Renewable energy business grant THE one show of the year where you can take a shot at the performer on stage is here. This Saturday (November 18), Tom Gleeson is bringing ‘GEAR’ to the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre (GPAC). With new material and lots of laughs, Gleeson invites Gippsland to come heckle with him and see who wins. Gleeson told the Express that the one rule is that the crowd dictates the show in comedy. “Basically you live or die by the response you get from the crowd. The rule is the crowd dictates whether your heckling is good or not. If you have a heckle at me and you get a big laugh, you win,” Gleeson said. He believes that one of the best things about comedy is that it is the most accessible art as it doesn’t require much and is fun. He first experienced the joy of comedy during university, while studying science, when he entered competitions and decided to pursue comedy because he enjoyed it so much. “Being on stage is my happy place. I feel very relaxed. In a strange way I find it relaxing because I am so familiar with it and it is so fun as well. Also staring out at 1000 happy faces, laughing is a genuine joy,” he said. Between different tours, Gleeson hosts the Channel 10 program Taskmaster. Season 2 of Taskmaster will be released in February 2024, and Gleeson stated that the

A NEW state government grant program aims to support manufacturers to buy or develop new equipment, skills, or technology enabling them to capitalise on opportunities in the renewable energy sector. The Minister for Jobs and Industry, Natalie Hutchins, said applications were open for the Made in Victoria - Energy Technologies Manufacturing program. Grants of between $100,000 and $750,000 are available to businesses to increase capacity to manufacture components for zero emissions and renewable energy supply chains like wind, hydrogen and solar. The program aims to help businesses become more competitive, increase exports, upskill staff and create high-skilled jobs, while strengthening the state’s supply chain resilience in the path towards net zero by 2045. Funny man: Tom Gleeson will perform his upcoming show ‘GEAR’ in Traralgon this weekend. Photograph supplied program has Season 3 already in the works. “It’s a lot of fun to do all the tasks. The more comedians that have a go at it, the better. There aren’t a lot of places comedians can be on TV at the moment,” he said.

MARTIN CAMERON MEMBER FOR MORWELL -

Something you want to discuss? Let's chat over coffee!

Safety risk calls for changes

AFTER another incident at the notorious Bank Street intersection in Traralgon, two Latrobe Valley Members of Parliament say lives are being put at risk. Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester and State Member for Morwell Martin Cameron are calling on the State Minister for Transport Danny Pearson to finish the works at the Bank Street intersection on the Princes Highway in Traralgon. “I was told the project would be done months ago and we are still waiting for a straight answer,” Mr Cameron said.

“The Bank Street intersection has been notorious for several years and it’s not good enough to half finish the job.” Mr Chester said he was frustrated that the traffic lights haven’t been installed despite the previous federal government providing more than $4 million for the project. “It’s a complete farce that 12 months have passed since the roadworks were completed but the traffic signals still haven’t been installed,” he said. “We will not see the full safety benefit of this project until the state government does its job and links the railway signals to the intersection.”

The new initiative follows the Low Carbon Manufacturing Grants program, which has provided $1.8 million in funding to 19 businesses across the state in the past year. Victoria’s $33 billion manufacturing sector is a driving force of the state’s economy and is made up of more than 24,000 businesses, supporting around 260,000 jobs and exporting $23.9 billion worth of goods. Underpinned by the Made in Victoria 2030 - Manufacturing Statement, offers government support for the sector including a $20 million Manufacturing and Industry Sovereignty Fund and a $4.5 million Digital Jobs for Manufacturing program.

Paying tribute to Granty THE Latrobe Valley Express lost one of its longestserving employees recently. Paul Grant passed away on Wednesday, October 25 in hospital with his wife, Caroline, by his side. He was 64. Mr Grant served the newspaper for the best part of 50 years, working as a typographer, designer and compositor. Most of the pages in the Express since 1977 had Mr Grant’s fingerprints behind them. Mr Grant was farewelled from this life at a service on Thursday, November 2. Friends, family and former Express colleagues gathered to remember and share their memories of the man known as ‘Granty’. Mr Grant retired from fulltime work at the end of last year to deal with his health, and had planned to hold an Express reunion. Sadly, such a reunion never eventuated, or it happened in much sadder circumstances as workmates came together at his funeral. Former Express editors Celine Foenander and Lynne Smith spoke at Mr Grant’s funeral, sharing ‘A letter to Granty’. Below are a few extracts from that letter . As many of you would know, there were plans to “get on the beers” to mark Paul’s retirement and long, distinguished career at the Express. Sadly, it wasn’t to be, but I know he would be absolutely chuffed by the gathering here today and remotely. At such an occasion there would have been a speech or two and lots of memories. But there’s no reason why we can’t send Paul off with a speech of sorts, reflecting on his career. And we’ve even given ourselves a byline - because buggered if we could squeeze one out of Paul when he was laying out our stories. Much loved photographer, Bryan Petts-Jones can tell you all about that.

Quality Q lit control: t l Paul P l checks h k pages as they th are completed before going to the press.

Not an edition of the paper went by that ‘Pettsy’ and Paul didn’t engage in a heated argument over whether ‘Pettsy’ deserved a byline for his front-page pic. It would usually end with Bryan storming into the editor’s office and plopping the photo on the desk pleading his case and pointing out the artistic merit of the photo - while Paul was slumped over his keyboard in fits of laughter. In fact, there was often a bit too much laughter and reminiscing going on in that corner of editorial where Paul and ‘Pettsy’ hung out. One of their journo colleagues, Lynda McRae, reckons it was a comfort to have the pair at the end of the office, ribbing everyone, cracking themselves up, whingeing and still there - having outlasted most of the old gang. It was April 1977 when David Amiet put you (Paul) on at the Express as an apprentice compositor. That’s after you had been hired to work as a printer but the then manager, Mr Hopkins - or Hoppy - thought you were too small to move the huge reels of paper - so it was off to the comp room for you, and you travelled back and forth to trade school in Melbourne. Compositors were an integral part of a newspaper; The Express was one of the first offset papers in Victoria and you Granty, became a master of your craft. You developed skills in typography and page make-up. According to your workmate Rocco, you were also a master at cricket. There was sometimes a game in the comp room on the Thursday night shift with Blowie (Brendan Ayre), Dicky Knee (Michael Lee), Rocco Filippo, Frank Gaudiano, Muz (Wayne Musgrove), Chris Austin, Paul Akers and Brian Peterson. And with an RDO on the Friday, any injuries (or broken equipment) were forgotten by the next shift. Your skills were highly valued when you moved ffrom the comp room to the newly established art department. After the ads were designed by the d graphic artists, it was your job to mark them up, g using your typography skills. You not only had tto select the appropriate typeface but the size of tthe text. That art department team went on to win numerous accolades at the Victorian Country Press n Advertising Awards with impressive feedback A ffrom the judges for your typography. The next phase of your career was joining the Express editorial team. Sub-editors who could also E llay out pages were hard to come by so you made a smooth transition into becoming an integral member of the newsroom. m You kept your cool throughout when every five m minutes there was a call: ‘Granty can you help?’ You were more than just the person who dragged and dropped a journo’s copy and a photo onto the a page. Any mug could do that. p With all your years of experience, your natural artistic ability and self-taught techie skills, you a knew what to do to draw a reader to a page. Sure, the journos reckoned it was their stories where

Apprentiiced d: Paull workking on an Express page during his apprenticeship days. every word was ‘gold’, the photographers believed it was their pics and the subs thought it was their catchy headlines. But it was always the layout that tapped into the psyche of the reader and kept them on the page. Granty, you thrived on working on any kind of feature, special coverage, lift-out or wrap around. In 2017, you and the editorial team won a Rural Press Club of Victoria award for an eight-page feature on the history of the Hazelwood Power Station - the stories were great but it was essentially the layout that showcased the subject matter. Something I (Celine) didn’t know is how you began working on layouts for a re-design of the Express. You drafted up a few options but unfortunately the re-design didn’t go ahead. Lo and behold, around the same time, The Age shifted from a broadsheet to tabloid. The new look Age with its new layout was oh, so close to your draft design. And you reckon you weren’t keeping up with the big guns, Granty. I’ve observed many a young journo hang on your every word about how things were done in the old days and the stories about characters that seemingly only exist in newspaper offices. You helped successive young editors put out newspapers that everyone would be proud of … you loved nothing better than making a page come to life. You were the connection between the past Express and the present. It has been a long-standing tradition in editorial

that when someone leaves (if we liked them, that is) we produce a fake front page for them to keep with stories that can’t be told in the public arena. You made this project your own Granty and while the clever writers got creative, you did wonders making the page a forever memory, complete with some highly questionable photoshopped pics. We never quite knew how you turned out that page, but back you’d skip from production with the bounty. See, that’s what it means to be ‘family’. And you had a pretty big family at 21 George Street for 45 years. Your own family, Caroline and the kids were part of it too. Over the years we heard about school stuff, footy, skateboarding, girlfriends, boyfriends you brought the family to work with you every day. On behalf of your former colleagues here and online today, well done on upholding the values of family, your profession and community newspapers. We are honored to have worked with and learnt from a true newspaper man. Mr Grant is survived by wife Caroline and their children Jason, Trina, Nicholas, Lauchlan and Cameron.

Walkers sharing path THE Traralgon-Morwell Shared Pathway is officially open. The 14-kilometre, two-and-a-half metre wide shared pathway to help cyclists and walkers safely commute between Traralgon and Morwell was officially opened on Monday, November 6. The occasion was celebrated with an official opening event in Morwell. Distinguished guests included Senator Raff Ciccone, who attended on behalf of the state government and federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester. Latrobe City Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan was also present, and that the pathway has enabled residents to live healthy lives in a safe, diverse, and resilient community. “This pathway is giving all community members an active travel route that is accessible and convenient. We expect the number of pedestrian and cyclist movements will be in the thousands, with some using the path to commute to work and others using it to explore the region,” she said. “Establishing infrastructure like this in our region provides a new opportunity for physical activity engagement, which aligns with the goals of council’s Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan, Living Well Latrobe,” the Mayor said. “This four-year plan is about finding ways to build on our strengths to enhance health and wellbeing for all and help to remove barriers so that we can be a diverse community that is stronger together.” The pathway connects into the existing path at the top of Kay Street in Traralgon and runs right through to the Morwell Railway Station. It provides access for bicycles, pedestrians, and mobility devices, with concrete surfacing in urban areas and gravel in rural areas. The construction of the Traralgon to Morwell Shared Path project was fully funded by TAC’s Safer Cycling and Pedestrian Fund and the federal government’s Community Development Fund, which was secured by Mr Chester. The total cost of the project was $4.55 million. This project began from a desire by the Traralgon and Morwell Peddlers Society (TRAMPS)

Make-A-Wish fundraiser hits the road at Rosedale Speedway

A MAJOR fundraiser will be held this Saturday at Rosedale Speedway for Make-A-Wish Foundation. The fundraiser has been arranged after the foundation went above and beyond to help fiveyear-old boy Baylyn ‘Bay’, who has Infantile Marfan Syndrome. Marfan syndrome is a genetic condition which affects the connective tissue that keeps the body together. Baylyn has a particularly severe case, and went through two life threatening open heart surgeries before the age of two. Last July, doctors ruled out further surgery due to the fragile nature of his lungs. Although he continues to grow in strength (and personality - you better believe it), his care is considered palliative. Make-A-Wish learnt of this and got involved in the best possible way, throwing Baylyn the greatest birthday party a five-year-old could dream of - featuring his favourite train, Thomas the Tank Engine! There were train rides, a jumpy castle, great food, tons of pressies and a huge crowd of family and friends - memories that Baylyn, his mum and dad will cherish forever. Baylyn, along with mum Casey and dad Broderick (Bodgy), want to say thank you to Make-A-Wish by throwing a bit of party for them in return. Bodgy has even wrapped his sports sedan with Thomas the Tank Engine signage. This is why we need you. Bay’s parents, together with Rosedale Speedway, are going to ‘Send it for Baylyn’ and raise some money to help Make-a-Wish keep doing what they are doing.

Newborough’s ties to Aussie war hero By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

Remember: Paybook photograph of Private (Pte) James Campbell McCracken, 2/24th Battalion.

Photograph: Virtual War Memorial Australia

Many POWs were killed in the 'Attack on the Nino Bixio' and James, along with the surviving POWs, was taken to Bari before their long train journey to a purpose-built POW Camp, Gruppignano (PG57) near Cividale del Friuli in the far north-eastern corner of Italy. PG57 was a large camp of predominantly Australian and New Zealander POWs, so for many, it was a reunion of old mates. It was here that many of the POWs came together and exchanged stories and renewed old friendships. The commander of the camp, Colonel Calcaterra, was a fanatical Fascist who has been reported as being “a sadist and an accessory to murder”. He inspired his men to harsh treatment of the POWs, encouraging limited rations and cruel punishments. The sign above his door read ‘Cursed are the English but more cursed are the Italians that treat them well'. Calcaterra never faced legal justice as he was executed by Partisans before he could stand trial for war crimes. In 1943, when Italy began to run short of food, it was decided to transfer the POWs across the country to work in the rice fields. Hundreds of POWs, including James, were railed across north Italy to Camp 106 Vercelli to one of the 29 work farms under the umbrella of PG106. When Italy signed an Armistice on September 8, 1943 many of the Italian guards just packed up and went home. Italy had swapped sides; the Italians had become enemies of the Germans, and the POWs they were guarding were now their allies. For the POWs there were three options. One was to stay where they were with farmers, who had treated them kindly. The other was to head south where they knew the Allies were advancing. Or lastly, cross the rugged Alps and head for neutral Switzerland. The Germans soon flooded northern Italy and those that stayed put were soon recaptured. James and his group headed north but had no luck in getting through to Switzerland. While wandering in northern Italy trying to avoid capture, James and his group joined a Partisan band in Valsesia. The following report by a Partisan leader found by Ms Smith gives a good insight into James' character. “The Australian (James) was a shy young man, born to be left in peace, with no warlike ambitions.” James was accepted into the group as a helper rather than a fighter, Ms Smith said.

A TALE that makes its way across borders, centuries, generations and wars. A story of loss and sacrifice - the story of James Campbell McCracken. The McCracken family from Newborough were in shock when a local military history author, Carol Smith, told them that she had found their distant relative's grave in Italy. “We were quite a bit surprised. We were very impressed that she had done all the research and she was able to provide us with all the facts about it. It was really lovely and exciting really,” Sue McCracken said. “My husband is Robert McCracken, James must have been a cousin to Rob’s father. “We have a family history tree that one of my husband’s cousins put together a few years ago, but we found James on the family tree.” Not only had Ms Smith found his grave, she also found James’ story to pass on to his family in Newborough. “It makes us very proud to realise that this young man was a hero,” Ms McCracken said. “I have had always had a lot of respect from our soldiers.” The grandparents of Newborough's Robert McCracken came from Stawell, not far from the birth place of his ancestor James, adding to the evidence of their familial relationship. A passionate military writer, Ms Smith travelled to Italy earlier this year in research of her own family military history, but in her journey she found much more than she had expected. “I was taken to where McCracken was shot and executed - I have always had an interest because he wrote a letter home that he would be shot and I have a copy of that letter,” she said. “When I got home, I thought I’m going to try and contact this McCracken family because it’s important this information gets back to them.” Looking everywhere for the McCrackens around Ararat, Ms Smith couldn’t find a connection until one day she was scrolling Facebook and came across the McCrackens in Newborough. “It was the letter, the note to his family that got me first. How terrible for this young fella that he’s been able to write home to his family with no one to read it," she said. Ms Smith told the Latrobe Valley Express of the extraordinary life of James McCracken. James Campbell McCracken (also known as Mick) was born in Ararat on April, 6, 1919. When World War 2 broke out, James and five of his brothers all enlisted in the Army. James joined the 9th Division Unit 2/24th Australian Infantry Battalion in 1940. In James’ time, he saw some of the heaviest fighting during the siege of Tobruk where the Australian 9th Division held Tobruk for an astonishing 241 days before being withdrawn to Alexandria to later support the British 8th Army. This was the first time that the German general, Erwin Rommel ‘The Desert Fox’ , ever tasted defeat. Following units' withdrawal from Tobruk in October 1941, the 2/24th Unit was in Palestine and Syria in response to a German advance. The 9th Division took part in the three major battles for El Alamein. James was captured on July 22, 1942 and faced the same fate as thousands of Allied prisoners in a prisoner of war - captive in (POW) camp in Benghazi, North Africa. The POWs suffered; the conditions in these camps were appalling and the men quickly became infected with lice and many suffered from dysentery. Food was scarce; the men were allocated just one small tin of horse meat and dry biscuits to be shared between two. In August 1942, the POWs were transferred to Italy and James was aboard the ill-fated ‘Nino Bixio’ ship when it was torpedoed by a British submarine on the crossing to Italy.

In April 1944, in the steep mountains around Varallo, by a large chestnut tree where he was skinning a slaughtered beast, James and his companions were captured by the Fascists. He was unarmed and surrendered immediately. He had ditched his uniform, was ill-equipped for the cold mountains, his bare feet scraping the ground as his shoes were falling to bits. He was sentenced to death by the Fascists and was taken to an old school in Varallo that was being used as a prison. James and those captured with him faced significant interrogation knowing exactly what their fate would be. A sympathetic visitor said James was known only as ‘The Australian’. He spoke very little Italian but somehow, they managed to communicate; as he ran his fingers through his long messy hair. James dictated a note to his family that read “Just a line to tell you that I will not see you again as I am going to be shot by the Fascists in Varallo this morning”. "He goes on to send his love to all and hopes that his girlfriend will be happy without him - it is heart-wrenching to read," Ms Smith said. His visitor believed that James had accepted his fate and “turned to ice” as his last thoughts were of his family in Australia. Around 11am, an armed patrol escorted the procession of nine men with their hands tied behind their backs through the city. It is believed that the people by the roadside were speechless with horror, unable to believe or understand what they were seeing. "During a recent trip to Italy, I visited the Institute of the Partisans and was taken to the Varallo Cemetery to be shown where James was executed," Ms Smith explained. "The bullet holes on the wall told a chilling story. My guide from the Institute told me that James was very brave." This is backed up by another account from a witness where it was reported that “the Australian (James) with an icy gaze, gave his executors a dirty look, undaunted, without a tear, without a word spoken”. "Nine young men were executed, victims of a world war and civil war, where the boundaries of good and bad had disappeared," Ms Smith said. "James Campbell McCracken, a brave son of Ararat, lost his life against a wall in the Varallo Cemetery, April, 15, 1944 in sight of the Swiss Alps." James was a ‘Rat of Tobruk’ who had survived the Siege of Tobruk, spent years fighting in the Western Desert, survived the British torpedo attack on the Nino Bixio and the Italian prisoner of war camps and until capture, his time in the mountains on the loose with the Partisans; always looking over his shoulder. "I stood before James’ plaque at Varallo and as I placed a poppy, told him that he would never be forgotten and I would do my best to pass on his story to his family," Ms Smith said. After the war, Australian POWs who had paid the ultimate sacrifice were interred in the Australian War Cemetery in Milan. "We visited this lush green oasis beautifully maintained and surrounded by tall trees watching over our boys. I placed a poppy and a flag on James’ grave and it gave me comfort to have come full circle with his story and to know that even for a short time he was once again under the Australian flag," Ms Smith said. "When I got home I searched the Ararat and surrounding area phone books for weeks but had no luck in locating his family. Through the power of Facebook, I managed to locate some family of James and was pleased to be able to make good on my promise that I would ensure his family knew his story. "A road trip to north-east Victoria seemed most likely, but I was certainly in for a big surprise.

Remembrance Day in the Latrobe Valley By TOM HAYES, ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC AND KATRINA BRANDON

HUNDREDS of Latrobe Valley locals scattered across the region on Saturday, November 11 to pay their respects to servicemen and women who served for their country. The reciting of The Ode, the sound of The Last Post and the Australian National Anthem were reverberated throughout the Latrobe Valley from 11am onwards. MORE than 100 people made it to Morwell’s Remembrance Day ceremony on Saturday morning including Federal Minister for Gippsland Darren Chester, Latrobe City Council Mayor Kellie O’Callaghan and Councillor Tracie Lund. Morwell RSL’s senior vice president, Don Fuller mastered the ceremony, filling in for the RSL’s president, Wayne Hutchinson who was laying the wreath in honour of the RSL. A SMALL crowd gathered around Yallourn North's Cenotaph as the town paid it's respects. Linda Hall of the Girl Guide Association, Strzelecki Boomerang Trefoil Guild was the master

of ceremonies and organiser of the commemoration. Lowanna College student Gemma Webb recited a reading to introduce the ceremony, and Yallourn North primary student Callum Bussink followed with a recitation of 'In Flanders Fields'. Latrobe City Councillor Graeme Middlemiss was in attendance to lay a wreath on behalf of the council and Bill O'Donnell represented the Yallourn North Community. OVER 100 Traralgon locals packed themselves around the Traralgon Cenotaph for the Remembrance Day ceremony. Councillors Dan Clancey, Dale Harriman and Darren Howe represented the Latrobe City Council, laying a wreath at the Cenotaph. The ceremony concluded with an orchestral rendition of the Australian National Anthem, which seemed to have caught the attention of more people at the conclusion. TRAFALGAR had a good sprinkling of attendees on Remembrance Day. The primary school and high school were represented, as was the Fire Brigade - which sounded their sirens at 11am to start the service.

Rose Garden Festival hits Morwell

By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

SWEET scents drifted across Morwell as thousands flocked to see the the vibrant colours of the International Rose Garden Festival. In its sixth year, the free community event has become one of Latrobe City’s biggest highlights of the year. Organised by Latrobe City Council, the annual event last weekend attracted people from far and wide to enjoy the garden’s 4000 roses. The flower festival was a great success showcasing the beauty of the region with some fantastic entertainment, attractions and eats available to enjoy. Community and visitors were invited to enjoy all that the two-day event had to offer. Attending the event was special guest, ABC Gardening Australia host and crowd favourite Costa Georgiadis. New event attractions included An Evening with Costa, and the option to travel to the event on the Saturday by Heritage Steam Train from Melbourne or Pakenham. Over the course of two days people we’re able to smell and see the extensive range of rose varieties and enjoy the live music. There was something for everyone as the little ones were treated to children’s activities including Sunday’s live performance of ‘The Grubby Bucket Show’, with Costa the Gnome and scrapboy from dirtgirlworld. The Morwell Branch of the Country Women’s Association had delicious treats on offer with many

food stalls to quell your hunger while you explored through the enchanted garden. The festival didn’t stop when the sun went down as keen festivalgoers were mesmerised as the night light display brought the garden to life. With the impressive light display a highlight for many, Latrobe City Council thanked AGL Loy Yang for their increased investment into the night time show. A Latrobe City Council spokesperson said this year’s event was a great success. “This year’s program showcased the roses and garden in full bloom while offering family-friendly activities and entertainment across the weekend,” they said. “ABC Gardening Australia Host and crowd favourite Costa Georgiadis returned to the Festival once again, hosting and judging the cut the rose competition and providing his gardening knowledge at multiple events across the weekend.” The LCC spokesperson commented on the popularity of the Heritage Steam Train that transported visitors to the festival in style. The council wishes to thank all those involved in another great International Rose Garden Festival. “Thank you to the sponsors, local businesses, volunteers, community members, volunteers and Council staff who contributed to bringing the festival to life for another year,” they said. “The International Rose Garden Festival is a pivotal event to not only bring the community together, but also support our wonderful local businesses and highlight our city as a great place to live, work and visit.”

Fan favourite: ABC Gardening Australia host and icon Costa Georgiadis inspired crowds.

Questions asked: With a hot and dry summer forecast, Member for Eastern Victoria, Melina Bath, has placed a motion for debate in State Parliament’s Legislative Council accussing the state government neglect of roadside vegetation.

Push for clearing of roadside vegetation OUT of control roadside vegetation must be addressed as summer and the impending bushfire season approaches, says Shadow Assistant Minster for Public Land Use and The Nationals Member for Eastern Victoria, Melina Bath. Ms Bath has placed a motion for debate in State Parliament’s Legislative Council accussing the state government neglect of roadside vegetation. Ms Bath said The Nationals are calling on the Labor government to commit to an intensive slashing and vegetation removal program across regional Victoria. “High rainfall during three years of La Nina conditions has intensified roadside vegetation growth in regional Victoria, including those managed by VicRoads and local councils," she said. “The overriding priority of any state government when it comes to bushfire mitigation must be the protection of human life, yet Labor continues to prioritise ideological environmentalism. “Right throughout eastern Victoria roadsides are burgeoning with out of control long grass, dead wood and weed species. “Given the forecast weather pattern for summer

- fuel load reduction on our roadsides must be prioritised.” Ms Bath said unkept roadsides act as a wick during bushfire events and deny residents a safe passage during bushfire events. “Bushfire experts indicate that community safety is significantly improved when roadside fuel loads are reduced through slashing, burning, and weed management," she said. “Private property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their land cleared and fire safe, it’s high time for Labor to act on its own directive and maintain road sides to keep regional communities safe. “Gippsland has already experienced an early start to bushfire season, and many regional Victorians are justifiably concerned about Labor’s preparation. “VicRoads and our councils needs comprehensive resources and deadlines to get on top of management of roadside vegetation to mitigate fire risk across regional Victoria “Fuel reduction saves lives, and The Nationals are demanding Labor instigate a greater focus on it to maintain road sides and public land.”

Local paramedic claims Women in Leadership scholarship AMBULANCE Victoria’s (AV) Mirboo North Team Manager, Fiona Windsor, in recognition of her outstanding work, has received the 2023 Council of Ambulance Authority (CAA) Women in Leadership Scholarship. The scholarship aims to encourage more women to step into leadership roles and support the development of women as leaders in the ambulance health sector. Ms Windsor said it was an honour to receive the award at the Women in Leadership Forum. “It was so unexpected, but it’s nice to be recognised,” she said. “I’ve got to give credit to the Ambulance community officers and community emergency response teams that I manage because that’s where I’ve found my passion for being a good leader. Those two groups are really diverse and that’s what I love about my job.” The scholarship provides Ms Windsor with a tailored, one-on-one 12-month virtual leadership course, as she continues her work with Ambulance Victoria. During her 13 years with AV, Ms Windsor has been based in both Melbourne and Gippsland,

working her way up to the team manager role. She said she was thrilled to be selected for such a sought-after coaching program and hoped to further develop skills that would support diversity and inclusion within the organisation. “I put in my application in the hope of being in a position to promote other women in leadership,” she said. “AV has come so far in this space but it’s still something to keep in the front of our minds.” Ms Windsor joined AV paramedics, Mel Leigh and Chantel Taylor, as finalists for the CAA Women in Leadership Scholarship. AV chief executive, Jane Miller, congratulated Ms Windsor on her achievement and continued interest in uplifting women in leadership across the organisation. “I’m delighted that Fiona was awarded with the scholarship and am pleased that Mel and Chantel were also recognised as finalists,” she said. “Women make up half of our workforce and we are committed to ongoing progress as we create a safe, fair and inclusive workplace, so that all our people feel valued, engaged and have opportunities to take on leadership roles.”

RECENTLY, St Joseph’s Primary School, Trafalgar produced a school concert titled The Quest of Music. Seven students (Zander Murto, Summer Parise, Evie Lowe, Fenn, Liana Eerhard, Bryce Varley and Tahlia Pedemont) met regularly to plan, write the script and produce the school’s concert. St Joseph's teacher Cathleen Ryan helped to guide the script composition. Music teacher, Raelee Hill, directed the concert and provided support to classroom teachers to choregraph dances. The school concert was performed at Lowanna College Auditorium. The students were especially proud of their performances and everyone enjoyed an entertaining night at the theatre.

Nature’s Alchemy in Yarragon TAKE time to visit ‘The Station Gallery’ in Yarragon during the month of November when Baw Baw Arts Alliance Artist, Cheryl Cook, has her art works displayed in an exhibition titled Nature’s Alchemy. Other work displayed are the vibrantly-coloured portraits painted by Sharon Wooton, who seems to have a never-ending supply of new themes waiting to be explored. Cheryl’s new works are predominantly on pure cotton alongside some hand created felt and are the result of years of experimentation with natural paints extracted from vegetation indicative of place. In this case, the works are closely linked to the colours and leaves from vegetation around Tanjil South. Expect multi layering of leaves, twigs and

threads in the variety of ways Cheryl has explored the natural environment. While this exhibition is a solo one, Cheryl sees collaboration with other artists and community groups as a driving force in her future creations. Most recently she worked with the community caring for the Edward Hunter Bush Reserve in Moe, creating a series of works designed to be hung out of doors and gradually dissolve into the source of their creation. These works are represented in a number of photographic interpretations in her current exhibition. Cheryl has recently been conducting a series of workshops using natural paints with internationally known textile artist, Dijanne Cevaal. These were conducted in Yinnar and were immensely popular.

Wordsmiths: Expert scriptwriters Fenn, Tahlia Pedemont, Zander Murto, Bryce Varley (front) Liana Eerhard, Evie Lowe and Summer Parise.

Unleash your change and help end men’s violence against women

contribute to a nation free of all forms of men’s violence

On Friday 17th November we are calling all Australians – men especially – to make women’s safety a men’s issue. It’s critical that all of us choose to be part of the solution – addressing attitudes, expectations and behaviours that excuse disrespect. White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement engaging men and boys to see this violence as their problem to fix, not women’s problem to tolerate. We’re starting a conversation to reduce future incidences of violence, promote gender equality and start building positive relationships based on respect. The primary focus of this strategy is to emphasize the value of primary prevention and the crucial role Australian boys and men play in intervening and advocating to end men’s violence against women. A lot of men share the belief that violence against women and children is unacceptable, yet sadly the issue still has huge prevalence throughout the country. White Ribbon Australia invites men to step up, speak out and be part of the change. Australia needs men and boys to join us in making a lasting change in attitudes and behaviours. Men speaking to other men about violence against women is a powerful catalyst for change, and mobilising men is a powerful tool in ending men’s violence against women. It’s a complex issue, and we provide the opportunity for both men and boys to constructively discuss what contributes

towards women. We’ll meet you where you’re at and support you to make changes that will have lasting impact. 2. Donate JOIN White Ribbon Australia and be the change by making a donation on White Ribbon Day to support our work to end violence before it begins. 3. Disrupt BREAK the cycle of violence and abuse by hosting an event or joining in with what’s happening in your community to be the change.

Let’s Be the Change by: 1. Wearing a White Ribbon 2. Encouraging others, including yourself, to practise compassion, vulnerability, and emotional expression. 3. Using our factsheets and resources to learn about the issue of gender-based violence prevention. to and behaviours that ultimately lead to violence. White Ribbon Australia collaborates with the community through education, awareness-raising, creative campaigns, and preventative programs within a Primary Prevention framework.

1. Discuss THINK about what you can do to

4. Organising or participating in an event. 5. Making a donation to support and strengthen White Ribbon Australia’s work in schools, workplaces and communities. A nation where every woman is free from all forms of men’s violence and abuse.

HOROSCOPES Youth ‘stepping up’ November 13 - November 19, 2023 Expect some highs and lows this week! Venus promises improved relations with a partner, friend or colleague. But the Sun-Uranus opposition highlights hiccups in your financial management in the form of a large bill, an unexpected expense or a retrospective tax debt. Which reinforces the importance of having a smart savings plan and a well-stocked emergency fund. So strive to be less impulsive and extravagant, and more cautious and thrifty.

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22) Your patron planet Venus is transiting through your sign which boosts your natural Libran charm, but it can also increase your obsession with perfection. With the Sun, New Moon and Mars marching through your self-esteem zone, it’s time to boost your confidence, be the authentic you, and celebrate your so-called flaws! As poet (and birthday great) Marianne Moore observed (and Morticia Addams would agree): “Your thorns are the best part of you.”

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

GGemini (May 21 - June 20) You could become anxious, as your daily routine is disrupted in some way. Or your enthusiasm for a work project could overtake your ability to knuckle down and get the job done. If you promise more than you can deliver, then other people will just end up disappointed. So slow down and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice – it will point you in the direction that’s right for you. The weekend favours strenuous physical activity in the great outdoors.

Sagittarius g (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

Bulls prefer to plod along in a methodical fashion but, this week, you could experience unexpected dramas and disruptions! The Sun opposes Uranus (in your sign) so daily life will be rather unpredictable. If you prioritise and are mentally flexible, then you’ll handle the hurly-burly with less stress and strain. Romantic relationships and platonic partnerships are also in a state of New Moon flux. The more adaptable you are, the better the final outcomes will be.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) This week a child, teenager, friend or lover could shock you by making a surprise move, or a group project could suddenly veer off in an unexpected direction. If you keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed, then you’ll adjust to the constantly changing landscape accordingly. Peace planet Venus is visiting your home/domestic zone, so stop sulkingg and stewingg over a perceived sligght from a family member. It’s time to cooperate, compromise and sympathise! Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)

Leos love to be Top Cat but this week you need to ask yourself: “Am I leading others or just bossing them around?” If you power ahead without considering other people, then you’ll create unnecessary chaos and disruption. Do your best to accommodate the needs of those around you. Life will also run more smoothly if you proactively incorporate a spiritual ritual into your domestic routine. Something like yoga, tai chi, chanting, meditation or creative visualisation.

Virgo g (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Wheen it comes to the way you think, blast out of a boring rut and jump into an exciting new phase. Use your imagination and think outside the box. The Sun, New Moon and Mars are activating your communication zone, so stop avoiding issues and start discussing what you really want and need. You can’t expect other people to magically read your mind! For some clever Virgos, a joint venture or creative online project has the potential to really fly.

This week the Sun, New Moon and Mars are transiting through your sign, and the Sun-Uranus opposition could disrupt relationships and rattle your Scorpio resilience. But it’s time to bounce back, as you demonstrate (and celebrate) your strengths – including courage and persistence. Your motto is from birthday great, painter Georgia O’Keeffe: “I’ve been terrified every moment of my life – and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”

Sagitttarians can be feisty folk. But don’t allow yourself to be drawn into a heated exchange this week (especially involving colleagues, clients or customers). It would be better to watch the fireworks from the sidelines. With the Sun, New Moon and Mars in your privacy zone, slow down and chill out as you relax, rejuvenate and contemplate. After some soulful reflection and quality ‘me-time’ you’ll start to see things from a refreshingly different perspective.

Capricorn p (Dec 22 - Jan 19) It’s tim me for an unexpected pivot! Clever Capricorns should examine all possibilities, especially ones that come from left field. With the Sun, New Moon and Mars in your hopes-and-wishes zone, it’s important to have ambitious long-term goals that you’re working towards. You’ll have to be patient though, as you focus on bringing your dreams down to earth via a practical plan. Then – when everything is in place – you’ll know the perfect time to pounce.

Having the resources, THE future is looking bright for the latest the tools and graduates of a training and mentoring program in Latrobe Valley, backed by the state government. constant Minister for Regional Development Gayle Tierney recently congratulated six of the most support, and them really recent Ladder Step Up Latrobe Valley participants. Delivered through a partnership between AFL believing in me, that’s community initiative Ladder and the Latrobe Valley Authority, the program builds independence what made a and confidence in young people aged between 16 and 25, supporting them to engage in education, difference

training and employment. Participants take part in a six-week development program and after that are matched with a community mentor to help them achieve their personal goals. One graduate celebrating her achievements is Lacey, who was one of the program’s first participants in 2018 at 16-years-old. As a result of the program’s training and mentorship, Lacey recently secured a job with Ladder, a dream she’s held since graduating. The young graduate hopes that by sharing her story, she will shine a light on the Ladder Step Up program and the value in participating. The Latrobe Valley Authority has supported the Ladder Start Up program since it was first introduced as a pilot initiative in the Latrobe Valley in 2018. Since then, 240 young locals have successfully completed the program, with almost all graduates engaged in employment, education or training. Latrobe Valley Authority chief executive, Chris Buckingham said the organisation was proud to partner with Ladder. “Young people are absolutely central to our region’s future. We have a shared responsibility to listen to them and make sure their hopes and aspirations are reflected in our work,” he said. Ladder’s work in the Latrobe Valley is part of the broader state government investment in the region. It ensures the local community has access to the skills, jobs and opportunities offered by Gippsland’s transition to more sustainable industries.

Aquarius q (Jan 20 - Feb 18) Thee Sun/Uranus opposition suggests a house move, family fiasco, uninvited guests dropping in or some other kind of domestic drama. And some Aquarians could experience disruptions at work. Whatever happens, strive to get the balance right between your public life and your private responsibilities. The planets also push you to reinvent a professional relationship. Just be careful you don’t get carried away and throw the baby out with the bathwater. Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)

Are your aspirations for the future ambitious enough? The current stars favour ruminating over big-picture ideas. And there’s no room for false modesty or passive Piscean procrastination as you enjoy talking, texting, posting, promoting, socialising and circulating. Uranus stimulates your thought processes and encourages you to come up with a cracking plan, and then pursue it. An unwelcome surprise could unsettle you, so hold tight and expect the unexpected!

Our Place: Supporting the education of the disadvantaged OUR Place Morwell brought together local families, community partners and service providers to celebrate its launch at Morwell Park Primary School on Thursday, November 2. A Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony was conducted by Auntie Kathy Dalton and family, before a cake cutting ceremony and party was held in the school grounds. Our Place founder and philanthropist Julius Colman, Victorian Department of Education Inner Gippsland Area Director Andrew Eastcott, Latrobe City Mayor Kelly O’Callaghan and Morwell Park School principal Chris Joustra welcomed the community to celebrate the occasion. “I'm really excited about the prospect of what Our Place brings,” Mr Joustra said. “Often in schools and other government agencies, we act as little silos. Our Place gives us the opportunity to no longer work as silos but work as groups together. “I see children that don't access all the opportunities that are available for them here at school. And if we can get in early and work there between the kinder and preschool, if we can all get on board and join together, that's where the real differences can be made. And I am passionate about those things. “And I can see Our Place playing an important part of assisting us in empowering students to have those opportunities.” Our Place is a holistic place-based approach to supporting the education, health and development of all children and families in communities experiencing disadvantage by utilising the universal platform of a school. In partnership with Morwell Park Primary School and Latrobe City Council, Our Place has been working on site in a purpose-built hub since January to support children and their families succeed through high-quality learning and addressing their health and wellbeing needs. Our Place is supporting the engagement of families with its partner organisations that connect on site at the school. These include family services and playgroups as part of the Early Help program with Key Assets and Ramahyuck, family services and supported

play groups from 54 Reasons, health and wellbeing interventions with Latrobe Community Health Service and NDIS, general practice with Royal Medical Centre, education and employment services with Skills and Jobs Victoria, Parent Next program with APM Workcare services, education with TAFE Gippsland and after school sports and physical activity programs with Gippsport. It is the second Our Place site in Morwell, in addition to Morwell Central Primary School.

Cultivating growth and learning

TANJIL South Primary School is abuzz with excitement as it slowly transforms the school grounds. This project has been made possible through dedicated efforts of staff and community. The school's commitment to providing a vibrant and enriching environment for its students is evident in the thoughtful changes that have been made. A standout feature is the charming strawberry patch, which adds a touch of nature's bounty to the play area. This addition not only brings a burst of colour to the space but also offers an educational opportunity for students to learn about gardening, sustainability, and the joy of growing their own food. The strawberry patch serves as a living classroom, nurturing a sense of responsibility and a deeper connection to the environment. Tanjil South Primary School principal, Jason Horton expressed his delight of the transformation.

"The transformation is a testament to our commitment in providing a stimulating and inclusive environment for our students. It's a space where they can learn, play, and grow together," he said. The improvements have been mostly driven by Belinda White, the school education support person, highlighting the belief that even modest changes can have a profound impact on a student's educational experience. The improvements exemplify the school's commitment to providing a holistic education that nurtures both academic and personal growth. These transformations serve as a testament to the power of collective effort and the belief that every child deserves a space where they can thrive, learn, and explore.

Christmas with Salvation Army THE Salvation Army is launching their annual Christmas appeal in Victoria’s Gippsland region, which will help The Salvos support individuals and families in the local community who are experiencing hardship this Christmas. The rising cost of living, interest rate and rental price hikes has meant that more people have been turning to The Salvation Army for support, making this year’s Christmas Appeal vitally important. The Salvos are aiming to raise $25 million nationally, so nobody struggles alone this Christmas. “Christmas is the busiest time of the year for The Salvos, and this Christmas we expect the additional stresses of this year will result in more people than ever struggling to afford Christmas for themselves and their families," Major Warren Elliott, The Salvation Army’s Public Relations Secretary for Victoria, said. "The Salvation Army are here for you. Whether

it is practical support like food or presents, or if you are feeling down or lonely this Christmas, reach out to us at The Salvos." There are many ways that you can partner with The Salvos to support your community this Christmas, including lending a hand, donating products such as gifts and food, or offering a financial donation to its Christmas Appeal. The Salvation Army also host a number of special community celebrations during the festive season. For more information on how you can support this Christmas, or to find out about local events, phone your nearest Salvation Army centre in the Gippsland area. You can also visit salvationarmy.org.au National Salvos number is 13 SALVOS (13 72 58). Donations can also be made at any Salvos Store.

Great work: Harrison and Annabel have been happy with the improvements made around the school.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK THE THIEF, HIS WIFE AND THE CANOE Seven, Friday, 8.30pm

You’ll scratch your head in spellbound disbelief, laugh and perhaps have an anxious knot form in your stomach through this darkly comic four-part caper. Eddie Marsan (Ray Donovan) and an unrecognisable Monica Dolan deliver superb performances as John and Anne Darwin, but perhaps the most intoxicating element of this riveting miniseries is the fact it’s firmly based on a wild, but true, story. True crime is elevated with tragicomic wit in this crazy chronicle of a harebrained insurance scam. Premiering tonight with a movie-length double episode, it’s a measure of clever, striking storytelling when compassion can be felt for two idiotic criminals.

SHAKESPEARE AND HATHAWAY ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm

If murderous whimsy is a style, this British crime candy has nailed it. Featuring the playful vibrancy of Jo Joyner as hairdresser turned investigator Luella Shakespeare and the droll swagger of Mark Benton (pictured, left, with Patrick Walshe McBride and Joyner) as Frank Hathaway, tonight marks the end of season four – one of the most watchable yet. Frank is lured onto a hiking walk to find a killer, only to be arrested for murder by DS Keeler (Tomos Eames). Entertainingly told though flashbacks in an unconventional way, this amusing mystery also paints Frank in a different light, with romance in the air and a date. Season five is yet to be given the go-ahead, so this amusing yet slightly predictable episode might be a bittersweet ending to this much-loved show.

True lies: Eddie Marsan and Monica Dolan as John and Anne Darwin. LUXURY ESCAPES 10, Sunday, 4.30pm

Budget, what budget? In this aspirational travel show, decadence and luxury in the world’s most stunning locations and hotels are the order of the day. When living through a cost of living crisis, the finest antidote is perhaps discovering what financial freedom (aka lots of money) affords. In tonight’s sun-soaked season finale, two of TV’s most entertaining hosts, Love It or List It’s Andrew Winter and Neale Whitaker (both pictured), lap up some breathtaking Aussie hedonism. The impish real estate and interior design aficionados bring their jesting banter along for their glorious getaway, basking in the glow of Sydney’s beautiful sights and lounging around on Lizard Island.

THE GARDEN HUSTLE Nine, Saturday, 7.30pm

In this fresh new garden makeover series, premiering tonight, there’s an abundance of creative homeowners and renters ready to get their hands dirty to transform their outdoor space in unexpected and inspiring ways. It’s a fertile idea for a show in a nation of garden lovers, but this delightful new series stands out from the bunch thanks to its exciting hosts: actress Lisa McCune and The Block’s resident landscaping expert Dave Franklin. The Gold Logie award-winning star is a natural as she and Franklin support participants racing against the clock to bring their garden ideas and dreams to life. From sprawling backyards to snug balconies, no outdoor space is left in the shade.

Rescue Intensity towards renewable Mine Competition By PHILIP HOPKINS

THE state government has launched the State Electricity Commission's (SEC) strategic plan, vowing to intensify the transition to renewables, build a renewable energy workforce and wean people off home gas to make households all-electric. Under the Strategic Plan 2023-2035, the SEC will invest an initial $1 billion towards building 4.5 gigawatts of new power through renewable energy and storage projects. This investment will focus on increasing storage and onshore generation, and building industry confidence to attract further investment down the line. However, the state Opposition has slammed the plan as a "con job" and a "pie-in-the-sky grab for votes" that creates more questions than answers. Latrobe City Council welcomed the government's commitment to re-establish the SEC in Morwell, with a strategic focus on investment, transition and workforce development. The SEC under the strategic plan will support 2.6 gigawatts of renewable generation and storage assets by 2028. It will also take over the government’s Victorian Renewable Energy Target projects by 2025, which amount to 1.2 gigawatts of renewable energy generation in addition to the 4.5 gigawatts. This aims to help to achieve the target for all Victorian Government operations and facilities to be powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity by 2025. The SEC will supply to commercial and industrial customers during the transition to a net-zero emissions economy. The Minister for the SEC, Lily D’Ambrosio, said by 2035, Victoria would need 25 gigawatts of renewable energy in the grid. "The SEC will be critical in securing the investment and workforce we need for the job,” she said. The government says electrifying an older home can be a complicated process, with many moving parts. Thus the SEC will establish a ‘one-stop shop’, with pilot household solutions starting from next year. The aim is to step people through the switch away from gas. The government says switching homes to solar will massively cut energy bills. It maintains an existing detached home, without solar, will spend about $4000 a year on energy bills, compared with about $3000 per year after complete electrification - saving of about $1400 a year by going electric, with more savings likely.

Another SEC task is to deliver the skills and training needed to secure Victoria’s pipeline of future energy workers. This includes creating 59,000 jobs, including 6000 traineeships and apprentices, to help deliver the infrastructure and services needed to reach the state's 95 per cent renewable energy by 2035. It will support workforce development and attraction through three avenues: as an employer, through attraction and training, and as an advocate for sector-wide workforce development. It will establish the SEC Centre of Training Excellence, and engage with schools, TAFEs and industry to support the attraction, training and retention of a skilled renewable energy workforce. The Member for Morwell, Martin Cameron, who is the Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Energy, Renewables and the SEC, said the pillar promise, that the SEC will drive down power prices, had already been exposed as incorrect after its former CEO confirmed prices would in fact rise.

‘‘

Rushing to get Victorians off gas, when 60 percent of households are reliant on it, will only drive-up demand for electricity... MARTIN CAMERON

“At a time when Labor has failed to shore-up the state’s generation capacity," he said.“We know this will lead to more blackouts, more often so if the Premier (Jacinta Allan) thinks we have endured a ‘long, cold winter’ without the SEC, then she is in for a rude shock during winters without power under this half-baked plan. “All we have, even after the release of this ‘plan’, is a vague $1 billion pledge with no independent costings, that experts say is woefully inadequate - the transition to renewables will come at an estimated cost of $320 billion." Mr Cameron said he supported a sensible and considered transition to renewables, but Labor’s plan was neither sensible nor considered.“The goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2045 is based on ideology and not reality. The fact is, shutting down

our coal-fired power stations without a plan to keep the lights on is a recipe for disaster," he said. “The SEC will not bring power prices down, it will not deliver 59,000 jobs, and it absolutely will not deliver enough renewable energy to meet demand in time for Labor’s accelerated planned closure of coal-fired power stations. “Here in the Latrobe Valley, where we have powered the state for more than a century, the people didn’t vote for this. They see this for what it is: a political stunt that ignores commercial realities and will only increase power bills and taxes for Victorians.” Latrobe City said the SEC’s strategic plan 20232025 was a significant milestone in securing a sustainable and prosperous future for the Latrobe region."This commitment ... holds the promise of generating long-term employment opportunities for Latrobe City and stands as a pillar of support for our community as we navigate through substantial periods of change, both now and into the future," the council said in a statement. The council said the initial investment of $1 billion on 4.5 gigawatts of power through renewable energy and storage projects aligned with Council’s aspirations to harness opportunities in renewable energy and attract cutting-edge industry to the region. "Council continues to strongly advocate for the Victorian Government to prioritise the establishment of the SEC head office in Morwell. The establishment of the SEC and associated renewable energy projects will provide new jobs and industries, playing a critical role in facilitating our region's transformation," the statement said. "We will await further details about the establishment of the SEC Centre of Training Excellence, which we see as instrumental in preparing the next generation of tradespeople to drive the success of SEC renewable energy projects." The government said the SEC had received more than 100 registrations of interest (ROI) from energy market participants for its pioneer investment, to be announced before the end of the year. The total combined market capacity of ROIs was 24 gigawatts of generation and 30 gigawatts of storage capacity, the government said.

Walhalla’s World Heritage listing bid BAW Baw Shire will join 14 other local governments to pursue World Heritage listing by UNESCO as the most significant 19th century gold rush region in the world. The Victorian Goldfields World Heritage listing bid is a partnership between 15 local governments, who together represent over half a million people and embrace nearly 20 per cent of the state of Victoria. The bid seeks to achieve a World Heritage listing of a series of chosen sites to celebrate the history and heritage of Victoria’s varied gold rush regions. Expected to take five years or more to gain approval, if successful the bid would enshrine Victoria’s goldfields alongside the Sydney Opera House, Royal Exhibition Buildings and Carlton Gardens, Australian Convict Sites and the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape as Australian sites of world historical and cultural significance. Baw Baw Shire Deputy Mayor and Walhalla resident, Cr Michael Leaney said there was much to be gained through a World Heritage listing. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that has received strong backing from federal and state governments, including a pledge from the Victorian government of $3.8 million in this year’s budget for World Heritage projects, including the Victorian Goldfields,” he said. “If successful, the World Heritage listing would ensure that the exemplars from Victoria’s 19th

century gold-era sites are preserved to be enjoyed and valued by countless generations to come. “Having worldwide recognition and protection of many of the places that transformed Victoria from a sleepy rural outpost into a prosperous industrial community over 150 years ago would lead to improved interpretation, preservation and tourist visitation." The bid began with 13 shires from Central Victoria. Two more local governments, Indigo Shire and Baw Baw Shire, were recently added following a visit by a UK World Heritage expert who said that “Walhalla was the third most significant mining area in terms of the value of gold extracted” and that both “are important parts of telling the Victorian Goldfield story.” As a result, Walhalla joins a long list of sites from across Victoria’s goldfields that are being investigated for the possibility of World Heritage listing.

The process to identify which sites are ultimately put forward will take several years. The campaign will see Baw Baw and Indigo Shires join the Central Victorian LGAs of Ararat Rural Council; Campaspe Shire Council; Central Goldfields Shire Council; City of Ballarat Council; City of Greater Bendigo Council; Golden Plains Shire Council; Hepburn Shire Council; Loddon Shire Council; Macedon Ranges Shire Council; Mount Alexander Shire; Moorabool Shire Council; Mount Alexander Shire Council; and Pyrenees Shire Council. From the late 1840s through to the turn of the 20th century, the world went mad for gold. From Colorado to Canada, and South Africa to New Zealand, the tiniest glimpse of the yellow stuff could transform any rural backwater into a raging new metropolis as prospectors descended from every corner of the globe, each hoping to strike it rich.

Maybe: Walhalla could soon be on the World Heritage listing.

In just 50 years, more gold was mined across the planet than in the previous 3000 years combined. Baw Baw Shire Mayor, Cr Annemarie McCabe says the transformative effects of the World Heritage bid on the local economy could be profound. “Key findings from local experts have shown how World Heritage listing could grow regional Victoria’s visitor economy significantly, with the returns continuing to increase each year,” she said. “By the 10th year following World Heritage listing, in comparison to business-as-usual tourism growth, projections show the potential for an additional 2.2 million new visitors to the regions and an additional $440 million spent in the local economies. “Growth in visitors related to the World Heritage bid alone could lead to 1750 additional jobs, and regional income could increase by as much as $150 million annually.” Patrons for the bid include former Victorian Premiers The Hon John Brumby AO and The Hon Denis Napthine AO. Both gentlemen have been involved and supportive of this project for many years and share a desire to have the Victorian Goldfields recognised globally as the world’s most profound, long-lasting and transformative 19th-century gold rush story.

Closure of native timber harvesting By PHILIP HOPKINS

THE state government’s regulation of timber harvesting, which has led to the impending closure of Gippsland’s native forest industry in January, directly contradicts the joint national-state approach to ensure biodiversity alongside a timber industry over the previous 30 years, analysis shows. The 1995 National Forest Policy Statement (NFPS) emphasised the need for a landscapefocussed approach to conservation and forestry, and which became the basis to prepare the Regional Forest Agreements. In contrast, the Andrews government’s approach to forest management, unlike previous Victorian governments, has concentrated on individual harvest coupes irrespective of the socio-economic impact on the forest communities. In turn, the state government’s strict interpretation of the code of forestry practice led to countless legal cases by environmentalists that were backed by the Supreme Court, which ordered VicForests to undertake extremely stringent assessments of threatened species in individual coupes. The state government subsequently blamed these legal cases, which ordered injunctions on harvesting, for its decision to close the native forest industry on January 1. However, VicForests’ new technique of using drones to survey the coupes has uncovered countless animals, more than would have been found on foot by researchers. The government made its decision to close the industry before the drone surveys were completed and analysed and could potentially be used as evidence in court. The Major Event Review of the 2019/20 bushfires also found that despite the enormous areas of forest burnt, there was still enough sustainable timber for industry needs. When setting up the NFPS in the 1990s, the JANIS working group - conservation scientists and planners from all states and the CSIRO - drew up the criteria to form a CAR (comprehensive, adequate and representative) reserve system. The objectives of biodiversity conservation for forests were to maintain: Ecological processes and the dynamics of forest ecosystems in their landscape context; Viable examples of forest ecosystems throughout their natural ranges; Viable populations of native forest species throughout their natural ranges, and; The genetic diversity of native forest species. The JANIS technical working group agreed that these aims would be best met through the establishment of conservation reserves, and complementary management of adjoining forest areas, including in the timber production estate. A Forestry Australia Fellow, Mark Poynter, said NFPS criteria reflected the ‘multiple-use forestry approach’ that had been embraced internationally and adhered to in Australia for generations.

Countdown: Native timber harvesting is slated to cease at the end of the year.

“It is a landscape-scale concept which dictates that, with careful management, a whole range of values may be obtained from a forest in a complementary manner that doesn’t unduly compromise the whole of other values,” he said. “It dictates that, for example, producing a sustained yield of timber from a portion of a large forest may not significantly affect the biodiversity values of the forest as a whole.” JANIS said different regions could create CAR reserves “while obtaining optimal economic and social outcomes”. “The analytical processes which integrate the application of the reserve criteria with social and economic considerations should be transparent,” the JANIS group said. When reserves were created, “the option which imposes the least cost on the community should be adopted”. The economic and social costs and benefits of alternate reserve options could include “the costs associated with broader employment impacts and industry adjustment”. A DELWP report released in July 2017, in assessing timber harvest exclusion zones for the Leadbeater’s possum, argued that landscape planning would be a better management tool to manage threatened species

and provide greater certainty and reduce costs for industry, but this report was never acted on. The bushfires of the past 20 years, culminating in the 2019/20 bushfires in Gippsland, led the state government to sharpen Victoria’s forestry code to include a strict interpretation of how the internationally recognised ‘precautionary principle’ relates to timber harvesting. There was no reference to landscape context. Under the precautionary principle, ‘threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage when the science is not yet settled’, “requires us to put in place protective measures to ensure we don’t have regrets in the future”, the Environment Minister, Lily D’Ambrosio, told Parliament last year. The Opposition maintained that the forestry code applied only to a very minor portion (4.5 per cent) of the state’s 7.8 million hectares of public forest. “There is virtually no chance of them creating a threat of ‘serious or irreversible environmental damage’ that justifies invoking the precautionary principle,” said Gary Blackwood, the then Member for Narracan and Opposition spokesman on forestry. The Supreme Court ruled last year in a case by environmentalists that VicForests’

pre-harvest surveys - 80 per cent done by (the then) DELWP staff and 20 per cent by VicForests - were inadequate and that it was not doing enough surveys to protect two possum species, greater and yellow-bellied gliders. This amounted to VicForests having to find virtually every glider within a coupe. VicForests argued that the court’s demand for more intensive surveying at night was next to impossible and dangerous. The court also ruled that VicForests had failed to meet its obligations to retain enough vegetation on coupes to protect gliders under the precautionary principle. In November last year, the Court of Appeal found the trial judge had correctly interpreted the requirements of the forestry code and that the declarations and coupe injunctions were lawful. The rulings forced VicForests to resurvey hundreds of coupes, which it has since done using drones. A VicForests spokesperson said the drone survey program was developed to comply with the court’s orders of December 2022 which provided a new interpretation of what was required under regulations relating to the detection and protection of the glider species. These surveys were developed in conjunction with the University of Melbourne and became operational from April 2023 - barely a month before the government announced it would totally close the industry by next January. “The drones use a thermal camera to detect hotspots when flying over the forest canopy at night. When a hot spot is identified the drone switches to a normal light video camera and spotlight to zoom in to enable the species to be identified. “Details of location and images of the fauna seen are recorded,” the spokesperson said. “Our surveys were designed primarily to detect any nocturnal arboreal fauna, particularly gliders that may be in an area planned for timber harvesting operations in the state’s native forests.” The spokesperson said the results have been very good. “We were able to cover larger areas of forest than we would have done if we were walking these places on foot,” they said. “We were surprised to see that we could detect heat signals very deep in the canopies. Sometimes we were able to detect animals even walking on the ground below. “One of the most surprising things for us was that the animals seemed to not be bothered by the drones flying above the canopy. None showed any change in their behaviour which is very good because we know that we are not affecting the way they live. “A subsequent appeal decision clarified that a similar effort of survey was required for all relevant threatened species.” Mr Blackwood said VicForests had been working to a prescription that gives greater

contradicts national-state method oversight to greater glider habitat for some years. “A simple and transparent inclusion in the code of this prescription and reference to the precautionary principle would have closed the loophole that activists use to support third party litigation,” he said. “The excuse that the 2019/20 bushfires have created ‘scientific uncertainty about the ability of species to recover’ is largely disingenuous. Forests have been recovering from similar major fire events since European settlement - indeed the Ash regrowth forest which comprises the state’s primary timber resource is the product of the huge 1939 bushfires. The distinguishing feature of the 2019/20 bushfires was its extent.” Forestry Australia, the industry peak group for forest scientists, managers and timber growers, maintains that Victoria’s forests have been captured by political ideology and complex legalities rather than being determined by science and professional expertise. The president of Forestry Australia, Dr Michelle Freeman, said all should be concerned that lawyers had become key decision makers in forest management, causing forest management professionals to be disempowered. Dr Freeman said the ‘precautionary principle’ should not be regarded as a hard and fast rule. “That’s why it is termed the ‘precautionary principle’, not the ‘precautionary rule’,” she said. An independent panel researched and wrote the Major Event Review that assessed the impact of the 2019/20 bushfires on the modernised Regional Forest Agreements. The panel consisted of Dr Gillian Sparkes AM, Victorian Commissioner for Environmental Sustainability; Dr Tony Bartlett AFSM, an independent forestry consultant; and Victorian traditional owner Katherine Mullett. The report, with 37 recommendations, was delivered to the state and federal governments 18 months ago, but neither government has made a formal reply to it. “The panel believes this was the first time in Australia that the precautionary principle had been formally applied to timber harvesting after a major bushfire,” the report said. This was appropriate, given the magnitude and intensity of these bushfires and the time required to assess bushfire impacts on threatened species. “The combined measures by DELWP and VicForests (since 2018) to increase pre and post-harvesting threatened species surveys and adopt landscape habitat planning approach”, should improve better knowledge on protection measures for threatened species near planned timber harvesting, the panel said. The panel said the (initial) additional protection measures on timber harvesting in

the fire-affected forests in this instance were proportionate and a timely assessment of the likely risks to threatened species. This had some economic impacts on forestry industry businesses but avoided the “unnecessary costs and the potential for perverse outcomes”. However, the panel did not find any clear evidence why timber supply commitments under the Victorian Forestry Plan could no longer be met as a result of the bushfires. The forestry plan was to close the industry in 2030 but was suddenly brought forward in May to January 2024. The bushfires had minimal impact on the Central Highlands RFA, the chief source of Victorian ash timber, but did greater damage to the forest resource in the RFA areas of Gippsland and in particular East Gippsland. VicForests’ resource modelling showed that the 2019/20 bushfires reduced the volume of D+ Grade saw log available for harvest in the future by minus nine per cent in ash forests and minus 13 per cent in mixed species forests. Overall, about 1 million cubic metres of standing D+ potential saw logs were burnt or destroyed by the bushfires, of which about 36 per cent was ash saw log and 64 per cent was mixed species saw log. The greatest impact was in East Gippsland, with about 60 per cent of the impacted timber. For the highly productive ash forests, 56 per cent of losses were in the North East of the

region and 42 per cent in the Gippsland RFA. In November 2021, the state government harvest review was completed. “That review found, after considering the bushfire impacts on the available timber volume in eastern Victoria, that the annual timber supply commitments can still be met and ecologically sustainable forest management supported,” the panel said. “The review found that the maximum potential harvest levels are 172,000m3 per annum for D+ ash species saw log and 144,000m3 per annum for D+ mixed species saw logs.” VicForests provided the panel with data that included adjustments for bushfire losses. Taking into account the remaining available saw log volumes and gross estimated volume of D+ saw logs affected by the bushfires (1,034,700m3), the saw log losses from the 2019/20 bushfires represented about 11 per cent of the D+ saw logs available to VicForests before the bushfires. Based on the information the panel had access to, “the panel’s analysis indicates that, after allowing for the estimated bushfirerelated saw log losses, the remaining saw logs available under the current allocation order appear to be more than sufficient to meet the allowable harvesting levels under the Victorian Forestry Plan for both ash and mixed species, across all the RFA regions in eastern Victoria”. The panel acknowledged that there was

both ongoing changes to threatened species management requirements and ongoing legal cases that could affect the results of this analysis. Since March 2020, the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) has completed risk assessments for 142 threatened species and communities. Protections are now in place for 37 threatened species and two rainforest communities. In Victoria’s estimated 3.14 million hectares of state forest, the risk assessments to date has resulted in new Special Protection Zones excluding timber harvesting from more than 50,000 hectares of forest. DEECA says this has secured critical habitat for species and communities including the Southern Greater Glider, Diamond Python, Tapered Galaxias, Tall Astelia, Giant Burrowing Frog and two temperate rainforest communities. In addition, more than 60,000 hectares of important habitat have been protected for species including Glossy Black-cockatoo, Alpine Spiny Crayfish, Slender Tree Fern and Watson’s Tree Frog through new Special Management Zones where some timber harvesting can occur under restrictions. DEECA says the risk assessments, an RFA requirement, apply to any species, and communities that have been listed as threatened under Victoria’s FFG Act or the Commonwealth EPBC Act that are potentially affected by forestry operations across Victoria’s five RFA regions. To assess the potential impact by forestry, all threatened species and communities undergo a prioritisation process to determine eligibility for inclusion in the Threatened Species and Community Risk Assessment (TSCRA). The process considers data and models about the potential extent of overlap between a species’ distribution and forestry operations. DEECA says scientific literature and expert judgement about the potential impacts from timber harvesting on populations of the species at an RFA scale also contribute to the prioritisation. Once assessed, the eligible species and communities are assessed using the TSCRA. The TSCRA methods are based on the DELWP risk management guidelines, but have been modified for application to an environmental context. The TSCRA considers data and models about the potential extent of overlap between a species’ distribution and forestry operations. “We will continue to monitor any potential risk to threatened species and communities across Victoria’s five RFAs,” a DEECA spokesperson said. More details are available in the TSCRA reports on DEECA’s website at environment. vic.gov.au/conserving-threatened-species/ threatened-species-and-communities-riskassessment

Portuguese experience of a lifetime

By LIAM DURKIN

TALK about a long way from home. As if standing among 1.5 million people in the capital of Portugal wasn’t daunting enough, try doing it all on your own. That was the experience for Traralgon teenager Zahra Hanratty, although fortunately for her, she had something in common with the millions of people worldwide who gathered in Lisbon. The occasion was World Youth Day - a week-long event celebrating the Catholic and Christian faith. Stepping well outside her comfort zone, the 17-year-old took the pilgrimage, and with it, a figurative and literal leap of faith. The youngster has been home for a few months now since the event concluded in early August. With a chance to reflect on the journey, Zahra said it was a truly memorable experience. “It was surreal, just the amount of people,” she said. “It was a crazy journey, I’ve been in the church my whole life, and it was just really exciting to go from St Michael’s Parish (Traralgon) to the ‘World Parish’. I didn’t realise how big and how amazing the actual event was until I was there. “It was just a lot of fun ... amazing, I made so many lifelong friends.” As Zahra explained, the journey to Lisbon started out from little more than curiosity - and some encouragement from her mum and St Michael’s Parish Secretary, Jenifer Hanratty. “Mum works in the church so she found out about World Youth Day, she asked me if I wanted to go and I was like ‘why not?’,” Zahra recalled. “I didn’t know anyone going into the event, but we had the opportunity to get to know others in some information sessions before leaving.” After deciding to commit, the challenge was then to raise enough money as the operation needed to be largely self-fund. While most kids her age might be saving money for a car, Zahra instead put her focus on paying to travel to the other side of the world. Needing to do so in a relatively short space of time, Zahra sold chocolates and held morning teas after Mass at St Michael’s Church. That’s a lot of chocolate. The teenager found no shortage of support from those in the local community, something she was eternally grateful for. “The parishioners of St Michael’s Church were so generous, they donated a lot of money,” she said. “It was lots and lots of flights. We went to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and then we flew to Istanbul (Turkey) and then we flew to Madrid (Spain), and then bussed all the way from Madrid into Fatima where we stayed for two nights.

Flying the flag: Zahra (right) with Australian friends she met at the event. “We visited Fatima, a sacred sight where hundreds of thousands of people visit and light candles every night to pray for loved ones. I was in awe at the amount of people who visit the site where Mary appeared to the three children in 1917. It was just crazy, 800,000 people were there that night singing and praying.” Flying with a group from Melbourne, Zahra was eager to take in all that World Youth Day had to offer. A festival-like atmosphere greeted the foreigners, as concerts, dancing and opportunities for prayer never subsided. Among the many highlights, Zahra said the opportunity to mingle with like-minded people from other countries, as well as sightsee around historic Europe stood out. “That was one of my highlights - interacting with so many young faithful pilgrims from all over the world whom were from all different cultures,” she said. “There was a bit of a trading system happening, I

took souvenirs from Australia, like pins, key chains and little koala toys, and everyone traded with people from other countries. “I came back with an arm full of bracelets, lots of pins, it was amazing to see so many countries represented and expressing their faith joyfully in the streets of Lisbon. Everyone flew their countries flag with pride and I carried our Australian flag and had fun getting signatures from so many young people that attended. I learnt French at school so I got to try out my French skills but also learnt some Portuguese phrases. Everyone was so friendly and the streets of Europe are so beautiful. The food was pretty good - Portuguese tarts I would recommend.” She also met someone pretty famous. Pope Francis honoured World Youth Day attendees with his presence, receiving a rock star reception as he drove through central Lisbon in the Popemobile. Zahra estimated being about a metre from his Holiness as he drove past.

“It was a thrill, I didn’t realise how much of a hype it was until he was really there,” she said. “Everyone was screaming, singing and trying to get closer to Pope Francis and I’ve been surprised by how popular he is. I got back to school and lot’s of people asked me if I met the Pope, they wanted to know about my experiences, I didn’t really think it would be that big of a deal, but it’s really broadened my perspective.” Pope Francis delivered a number of sermons, with Zahra commenting the 86-year-old “looks younger” in real life.”He only spoke Italian - that I’m aware of, but he can speak a lot of languages. We all had radios and there was translators on all the channels so we could understand what he was saying, it was just a bit tricky, but I learnt so much,” she said. Also amazing was the amount of security. “There were snipers on the top of every building, it was a bit scary, it took us hours to get into the actual place when he was arriving. We had to go through three gates checking our bags, checking us,” Zahra said. The event was not without its challenges, as attendees were faced with 40 degree heat some days, as well as the sheer coordination of groups of people among so many hundreds of thousands. Despite this, Zahra said her Melbourne-based group was afforded a great deal of independence. Each day she attended sessions on Christian teachings, concerts, Church and prayer services, and had many opportunities to network. “Everything was optional, you didn’t have to do anything you didn’t want to do, but we of course wanted to do everything.” Still sporting wristbands from her time in Lisbon, Zahra said it was indeed a worldwind experience. “I came from Traralgon and I attend Church weekly, but talking about God was never a topic of conversation around my peers. But after seeing how big the Church is and how many people have a similar experience and belief to me, it really opened my eyes and has given me a greater confidence in what I believe in,” she said. The youngster has kept in touch with those she went to World Youth Day with through a group chat, and has become “best friends for life” with three girls her age she spent most of her time with in Portugal. orld Youth Day will be held in Seoul, South Korea in 2027, and Zahra is already adamant she will be attending. Imagine how many chocolates you could sell in four years.

ATHLETICS

LOCAL athletes took part in the Maffra Mile recently. The event is held as part of the Maffra Agricultural Show, and attracted athletes throughout Gippsland who took chase over the mile with a prize pool of $1500 up for grabs. In the men’s category, local athlete and international miler Craig Huffer led from the start gun to claim his fourth successive victory in the Maffra Mile. Second place was taken by another local athlete, Jett Schofield from Maffra, with Rhylee Stewart, a 15-year-old athlete from Hallora, securing third place. It’s worth noting that both Schofield and Stewart are coached by Craig Huffer at the Gippsland Track Club.

The women’s race was equally exciting, featuring athletes from the Wellington Athletic Club and the Gippsland Track Club training group. The women’s race involved tactical moves, with Debbie Husodo initiating the break from the pack. However, Sale’s Cassie Farley closely followed and took control in the final 300 metres to win her first Maffra Mile title. Glengarry’s Elly Fleming secured third place. The youngster has made huge strides in athletics, along with her younger sister Kaydence. The pair have earnt high recognition for their work and dedication to the sport, with selection for a number of state and national meets. Note: This story previously appeared in the Wednesday, November 8 issue of the Express. The headline incorrectly stated Fleming came second in the Maffra Mile. The Express apologies for any confusion.

10 years of ups and downs leads to title MOTORSPORT By TOM HAYES

THE story of Glengarry’s Ben Currie is one that has been closely watched over the years, and now he can finally call himself a champion, after taking out the British Supersport Championship. Currie ventured to the UK a decade ago and set out on a journey of ups and downs, all leading him to this point. He rode and raced dirt bikes from the age of eight, doing so up and down Australia at regional, state and national levels until 16 years of age. In fact, his move to Glengarry was mainly because of his dirt biking progression, as he built a track there to practice on. Before an eventual move to the UK, Currie gave it a go on the tarmac, racing road bikes and his display of skill was enough to earn him the call to go to the UK. At the flick of a switch, Currie went from living at home with his family, to pursuing a dream on the other side of the world, living alone and away from his loved ones, he found this challenge as a real learning curve. “This is actually my 10th season in the UK, so I came over here 10 years ago as a young fella, 17-years-old, just starting the journey in the British Superbike Championship,” he said. “From Junior Superstock, I sort of just navigated my way through those first years, trying to learn my craft, keeping the dream alive. “I managed, in my third year of trying, finished runners-up in the National Junior Superstock Championship, and then managed to progress into British Supersport (Championship), where I did a few years of that.” The British Supersport Championship is where Currie took his racing to the next level, but it didn’t come easy, starting once again at the beginning of the road. “I finished second and third in different seasons … never quite got that title. But, managed to step up into the Superbike class - sort of as a gift from Kawasaki for doing such a great job for them in the Supersport class,” he said. Despite the number of injuries he suffered, he never took his eyes off of the prize, constantly fixated on completing the goal he set out to do as a teenager. And although his debut season in the Superbike

class didn’t go to plan due to another injury, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. “I unfortunately got a big injury and I had to come back down to the Supersport class where I had to grind out a couple of years getting back from my injury. I managed to finish runners-up again in the British Supersport Championship,” Currie said. His mentality is one thing that didn’t go unnoticed and displayed a sign of resilience that got him to what he has achieved this year. “I think, just never giving up and just always having the bit between the teeth to want to come back and race, not wanting to throw the towel in,” Currie said. “Last year I got signed up to go to the Supersport World Championship.” The Supersport World Championships ride in the same class as the British Supersport Championship, but ultimately is a step further, travelling the world rather than being supressed to the UK. “I did my debut in the World Championship, but unfortunately again I was struck with a big injury.

I broke my back in Spain, in Barcelona,” he said. “Broken back, broke both of my feet, did my ACL, so I really at no point wanted to throw in the towel and I had to prove to myself that I could do the job and pushing as hard as I can and enjoying the process. “It has ultimately springboarded me into my best season ever after my worst season ever.” Currie entered 2023, back in the British Supersport Championship, one that he had competed in many times. “I came back to (the UK) again, back into the trusty-old Supersport - Ducati signed me - their first year there in the championship for like 20 years,” Currie explained. “For me, at the start of the season, because it was a new project on the Ducati, I had to develop a lot, we had to work hard on those early races to keep in the championship fight. “I would say at the halfway point of the season, I was so close to the championship lead and I couldn’t really believe it to be honest because I had not

really shone yet. I hadn’t had a win to my name. “We arrived at Thruxton (Round 7 of 11), hadn’t had a win, had a few podiums, was solid, and I think I was the championship leader. “Then we went on a crazy run and won four in a row, and I arrived at the third-last round of the season at Oulton Park (Round 9) with quite a good points lead. During the first race of Round 10 in Donington Park National, Currie won his fifth race from his last seven starts after sweeping Rounds 7 and 8, sealing the championship then and there. “I managed to create history with (Ducati) and win their first British Supersport title,” he said. “(I was) absolutely over the moon, incredible season to date, my best season to date. Ten years of ups and downs, good times, bad times along the way have all led to this moment. “It was really nice to finish the season with the last three races with the golden Number 1 on the plate.” Currie got his final race win of the season during the second race at Donington Park National, to make it six wins from his last eight starts. He felt a plethora of feelings upon his championship win, starting with realisation that he was champion and letting that sink in, to a newfound hunger to go again and looking forward to the 2024 season. “The British (Supersport) Championship is the strongest championship in the world and to be able to call myself a British Supersport Champion is pretty amazing. That was the goal and I’ve got other goals now, I’m gonna reset and get into place and I want to go and try and achieve them,” Currie said. “I know roughly what I want to do. I want to get back-to-back championships, I’d love to do that.” Currie’s journey is not done yet, and although this might be the biggest achievement of his to date, he believes there is more to unlock in the coming years. “Getting the job done is like a weight off my shoulders, like ‘I’ve finally done it’, you do question sometimes and ask ‘Will I ever become champion?’, but now that I’ve done it, it sure does feel good,” he said. “This is the top level of racing in Europe, to do this is obviously a dream come true, I’ve had many great moments in my career but this is the number one, this is the top of the list for sure, and I’ll remember this one forever.”

Caruso impresses in championship defence MOTORSPORT By TOM HAYES

THE 2023 National Sports Sedan series has now wrapped up, and Traralgon’s Jordan Caruso was up among them at the top once again. Caruso won the series last year, and this year set out on a mission to go back-to-back in his blue Audi A4. The Sports Sedan series takes place across five events around Australia. Round 1 started the season in Victoria’s Winton Motor Raceway, before they headed north for Round 2 at Queensland Raceway. New South Wales was the home for the next two rounds, with Round 3 at Sydney Motorsport Park and Round 4 at Australia’s most famous racecourse - Bathurst. The season wrapped up on the streets of the Gold Coast, with the championship coming down to the final weekend, Caruso still in the mix. Caruso was off to a blistering start at Winton, claiming the first pole position of the season. The Sports Sedan series use a rolling grid, so only one qualifying session is run per weekend, and positions at the end of races determine your starting grid position for the following race. Veteran Tony Ricciardello got the jump on Caruso in the race however, making him settle for second in the opening race of the season, which finished under safety car regulations. Also, while at Winton, Caruso picked up his first win of the season during Race 3 at Winton, coming from beyond the front row. Following one fifth of the championship, Caruso sat fourth in the standings, but with plenty of action to resume, there was no reason to panic just yet. Almost a month later, the grid headed to Queensland Raceway for Round 2, and once again Caruso secured pole position during the qualifying session. He finished on the podium in each race that weekend, locking in third during the first race, before taking back-to-back wins, which moved him up to second in the championship at the end of Round 2. At the beginning of September, Sydney Motorsport Park was the destination, and it became the norm that Caruso would have enough

in him to lock out pole position - for the third time in a row. Caruso held onto the lead position during Race 1, and followed suit in Race 2, and just when it looked as if he would complete a clean sweep, he was hit with a costly DNF in Race 3. Allowing all other competitors to cash in on points, despite the two wins on the weekend, Caruso dropped to third in the championship with just two rounds remaining. Round 4 was the round everyone had been waiting for - Bathurst. In a massive weekend on the Australian motorsport calendar, hundreds of thousands of people flock to ‘The Mountain’, to watch up to four days of racing action. “It was pretty insane, I feel like you read about how full on it is and people talk about it, until you’re actually doing it in a high-powered car, after the first session I was like “Far out, this is insane”,” Caruso said following the event. “It was good to soak in the atmosphere I guess, everyone camping - just thousands and thousands

of people, it’s just as big as it gets for Australian motorsport.” Caruso stayed for five days, not only for his own events, but stayed to watch the 1000-kilometre marathon on the Sunday. The track on Mount Panorama is one of the only tracks in Australia where fans can park themselves up around the track, and the amount of people that attend is more than any other racing event in the country. “I didn’t really notice it until in one of the races we were under a safety car, so we were just crawling across the top, and you see so many people there watching,” Caruso said. “There’s nowhere else where there is so many people right next to the track.” For the third time this season Caruso topped the qualifying times with a monster 2:02.544, which happened to be the fastest lap time of the weekend out of any class - including the Supercars. “It’s sort of the only track that is limited by fear to an extent,” he said. However, he couldn’t translate that form in the races, with the amount of safety cars during the timed races, made it almost impossible to launch into the lead. He was relegated to fourth in the first race, before securing two second place finishes in the second and third races. With one round remaining, Caruso promoted himself to second in the championship, 59 points shy of championship leader, Ricciardello. Caruso completed a qualifying sweep of the competition, taking the fifth and final pole position on offer, in a complete one-lap pace display. But once again, during the first race, he found himself looking at another car in front of him, finishing in P2, but the championship remained on offer, as Ricciardello finished behind him in 15th. Category debutant Cameron McLeod was making an impression in his first race weekend in the series, taking out a win in his first race. Caruso dropped out of championship contention with a DNF in Race 2 due to an electrical issue. Ricciardello was able to wrap up the championship with a race to go, but second was still up for offer, with Caruso a chance to pick up the pieces. Starting the final race of the season at the rear, Caruso was now third in the championship and had to make up some serious ground in order for

him to jump back into P2 in the championship. And that he did, going from last to second in the final race, ending the championship in second, 23 points behind the now 12-time Sports Sedan series champion, Ricciardello. “Overall, I’m happy to come home second in the championship,” Caruso said. “Unfortunately, reliability became a deciding factor, despite being consistently the fastest car over the season, one too many DNFs meant we miss out on the win. “I’m proud of my improvements over the year, by the end of the year I was happy with my driving.” Coming from a simulation racing background, Caruso spoke on how driving on a sim translated to the real thing. “It definitely did help a lot. Sim racing has made me a better driver in real life, but I think specifically for Bathurst I’ve done literally thousands of laps on the sim. I’ve done Bathurst 1000s, Bathurst 12-hours,” he said. “When I first got (to Bathurst), similarities didn’t seem as obvious. The hill perception was a little off, but once I was becoming more comfortable in the real car at Bathurst, it all started to come back, the rhythm, the bumps and the flow of the track.” Not even Caruso knows what the future holds for him, but he does have aspirations to get into higher classes and race on a level playing field. “Sport Sedans has been great, but ideally I’d love to get into a Super3 or a Super2 car or something like that,” he said. “It’s a more even playing field, I’d love to see what I could do. I feel like I could do really well, I think Sports Sedans has prepared me really well for that.” Traralgon’s Elly Morrow currently races in the Super2 class, which is directly beneath the Supercars championship. “I’d very much enjoy driving the car (in the Sports Sedan series) for another season and try to take back the Number 1, but we’re not sure what the future will hold. “Sim racing is gonna keep going, that’s like my full-time job at the minute. I’ll be getting involved in as many championships as I can. Caruso is taking part in the IMSA Esports Michelin Global Championship, which began on November 5, a four-race schedule which carries on until mid-December.

Goannas victorious in tight battle CRICKET BY GORDON COWLING

Close call: The Goannas Over-70s win it in at the death. File photograph

AFTER the trek down the highway to the Moorabbin Cricket Club ground in East Bentleigh, the Gippsland Goannas Over-70 cricket team had to wait for an under-age game to be completed before starting their match against the Australian Cricket Society Over-70 team. The Goannas fielded first, with Gordon Cowling and Kelvin Bond bowling the first 10 overs into the cool breeze. The ground was in superb condition, the wicket hard, and the weather fine as the ACS batsmen steadily increased the score. Bond struck first, having ACS Captain Ian B Gibson well caught by Dick Noble at mid-wicket from his first ball. Cowling then had Dave Breheny plumb LBW in his fifth over, and the score was 2/41 after 10 overs. Ron Lovel and Andrew Smith bowled the next ten overs downwind and were not able to break through as the ACS batsmen took the score to 2/82 at the drinks break. Batsmen three, four, five and six all retired after about 30 balls, one of them for 37, which included eight fours. Any ball hit through the field easily made the boundary as the surface was very quick. Lovel and Bond bowled the next five overs into the breeze, finishing with 0/22 from 8 overs and 1/45 from 7, respectively. They were relieved by Smith and Barrie Nunn as the score mounted to 2/133 after 30 overs. The final overs were to be bowled downwind, with Dick Noble and Nunn starting off.

caught behind for six, the score was 2/100, and Gibson came to the crease. At the 20 over drinks break, the Goannas had reached 2/111, which was well ahead of the ACS score at the same time. Devent retired soon after for a brilliant 42, and the captain strode to the crease. Lanigan and Gibson added another 20 runs, but KL was caught from the bowling of Hopkins for 12. Noble joined Gibson, who was bowled by spinner Martin for eight and the score was 5/136 in the 28th over. Cowling joined Noble, and they put on 22 runs, mostly ‘extras’, when Noble (6) walked after edging a catch behind, which the umpire may not have given out (no hearing aids). Nunn had a quick innings, and Andrew Smith joined Cowling, with 34 runs required but eight overs left. This pair batted well together, running singles, blocking the good balls and hitting an occasional boundary. They were able to pass the ACS score in the 39th over; Cowling was 36 and Smith 8 at the end of the innings. The Goannas Over-50 team was due to play the East Ringwood team yesterday, but the opposition was unable to bring a team to Gippsland. Unfortunately, the 50s have only played one game this season, and, as the next game is due when several players are away for the Over-55 National Games in Christchurch, which will need to be postponed too. The National Over-60s Championships are in Perth this week, and the 70s will be in Bunbury the following week.

SCOREBOARD

–

Goannas wicketkeeper, Ian A Gibson, completed a smart stumping in Noble’s first over, Cowling came back on for over 36, and the ACS number nine batsman proceeded to run out two of his teammates in the next three overs. The score was 158 when former Collingwood footballer Graeme Anderson, who had retired earlier, returned to the crease. He was able to keep the score moving as they put on 28 in the last three overs. Captain Kevin Lanigan bowled the 39th over for seven runs, Cowling finished with 1/33 from his eight overs, Smith 0/47 from eight, Nunn 0/17 from four and Noble 1/15 from his four overs. Goannas recruit Anton DeVent from Moe was lively in the field, providing a good throw to the keeper for the first run out. Smith fielded well to get the ball to Gibson for the final wicket. The ACS innings concluded at 5/192 from their 40 overs. After the lunch break, the Goannas started their innings, with Goannas recruit, Warragul’s Jeff (Spider) Phillips and second gamer Warren Dummett opening the innings. Neil Smith, who is still quite quick, and super veteran Bob Hopkins opened the bowling downwind, with Smith bowling Dummett for 15 in the seventh over. The Goannas were 1/49 at the 10 over change of ends, and Devent had joined Phillips. These two worked well together, and Phillips retired for 28 when the score was 73 after 13 overs. Wayne Tatterson had joined Devent, and the score continued to climb. When Tatterson was

Reminiscing on Maxwell madness

CRICKET By LIAM DURKIN

AFTER an innings like that, you might as well try and claim any local connection. Australian dynamo Glenn Maxwell produced arguably the greatest One Day International innings of all time last week, after smashing an unbeaten 201 in the World Cup. Battling full body cramps, Maxwell singlehandedly qualified Australia for the semi-final, slamming an astonishing 128-ball double ton. Coming to the crease with Australia gone for all money at 7/91 chasing 291, the right-hander overcame injury, heat and an insane amount of pressure to clear the rope 10 times and hit it a further 21. Partnering with captain Pat Cummins, the Victorian did most of the scoring in a 202-run partnership to see Australia home with 19 balls remaining. His 10th maximum secured victory and the first Australian ODI double century. Unfortunately, most of the country was asleep as Maxwell went berserk on Tuesday, November 7, only able to awake to news and catch the extraordinary highlights. Claiming some sort of local angle, Maxwell has played in the Latrobe Valley twice for the Melbourne Stars. The big hitter first featured in January 2019 in Big Bash League 08 at Ted Summerton Reserve, Moe. On that occasion, his services with the bat weren’t needed, as the Stars defeated the Adelaide Strikers by 44 runs. Maxwell did however take two catches in a game that coincidently featured some other local connections. Beanpole quick Billy Stanlake, who has family in the Valley, played against Maxwell, while Morwell’s Peter Siddle was a part of the Strikers squad that season, and would later captain the side on occasions. Maxwell again suited up for the Stars in Moe later

Worship: Glenn Maxwell signs autographs in Moe in 2019. that year, this time playing against the Hobart Hurricanes in December 2019. The Stars went two-from-two at Ted Summerton Reserve, defeating the Hurricanes by 52 runs. Maxwell missed out with the bat in that game, making two runs, but did chip in with figures of 2/15 with the ball. That match was highlighted by Pakistani express bowler Haris Rauf taking 5/27.

In his post-match interview, Rauf required the services of Nepalese teammate Sandeep Lamichhane to translate for him. Speaking of the trip to the Valley at the time, Maxwell said the team received a warm welcome from the local community. “It was brilliant. I think over the last two days we’ve been down here it’s been really positive,” he said.

“The people have really got behind the Melbourne Stars and cricket in general. “We did a hospital visit and got some interesting chats about the game of cricket and where it’s heading.” Current Melbourne Stars women’s wicketkeeper and former captain Nicole Faltum, who played for Trafalgar and Morwell growing up, shared club captaincy of the Stars with Maxwell last season.

Memorial for the AFL great, Ron Barassi FOOTBALL By LIAM DURKIN

Brush with fame: Carlton coach, Ron Barassi leaps for joy after the 1970 Grand Final. Morwell’s Graham Donaldson, who was the Blues assistant coach, is pictured left.

AFL great Ron Barassi was publicly farewelled from life with a state memorial service last Friday. Patrons gathered at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to pay their respects to one of the most influential people Australian Rules Football has ever known. A bust of Barassi on stage was flanked by the 10 premiership cups - five either side - he won during his career as either a player or coach. His record stood at 17 Grand Finals for 10 premierships at Melbourne (1955-57, 1959-60, 1964) Carlton (1968, 1970) and North Melbourne (1975, 1977). In a nod to this achievement, Barassi would often add '17-4-10' to his signature. Coincidently, the numbers 17 + 10 + 4 = 31 - the guernsey number Barassi wore in his more than 200 games for Melbourne. Perhaps fittingly, if not hauntingly, the temperature in Melbourne was forecast to hit 31 degrees last Friday. Those making speeches included Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan, former premier Steve Bracks, radio host Neil Mitchell, Melbourne Football Club President Kate Roffey, and Barassi's son Ron Barassi III. Making a point of Barassi's dry sense of humour, Roffey recalled how at the Demons' flag unfurling of the 2021 premiership, the first thing the Melbourne legend said was "took a while this one". Fellow AFL legends Kevin Sheedy and Leigh

In honour: Flowers are laid at Ron Barassi’s statue outside the MCG.

Matthews also took part in a panel discussion, alongside Eddie McGuire who acted as master of ceremonies. Musician Mike Brady played his signature song Up There Cazaly as part of the service, changing some of the chorus to sing 'up there Barassi'. Understandably Brady, at age 75, wasn't able to perform the tune with quite as much gusto in previous years, and one did have to ponder just how he is still going after being wheeled out to play the same song for the last 40 or so years whenever a football occasion arises.

Attendees of note included AFL coaches Alastair Clarkson and John Longmire, as well as Melbourne captain Max Gawn. Popular AFL commentator Anthony Hudson was also spotted mingling with the general congregation, which was seated on the bottom deck of the MCC Reserve. Disappointingly, a few phones went off during the service, putting a slight dampener on the occasion. Barassi had a strong link to Gippsland and the Latrobe Valley, particularly through the 1968 and 1970 Carlton premiership teams. The '68 team featured Morwell's Bryan Quirk and Yallourn North's Garry Crane, as well as Ian Collins (Sale), Bill Bennett (Maffra), Ian Robertson (Dalyston), Adrian Gallagher (Yarram) and Neil Chandler (Welshpool). Bairnsdale's Bob Edmond was part of the squad, and later won two Silver medals in weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games. Crane, Robertson, Gallagher and Chandler all played in 1970, as did Vin Waite (Morwell) and Ted Hopkins (Moe). Hopkins famously kicked four second half goals in that Grand Final, seeing Carlton storm home to win the premiership after trailing Collingwood by a seemingly impossible 44 points at the main break. Adding to the local connections was Morwell's Graham Donaldson, who was Carlton's assistant coach at the time. Donaldson features in the iconic photo of Barassi leaping high in celebration on the final siren at the end of the game. Barassi arranged for Carlton to play a preseason practice match in Morwell in the late 1960s.

Collingwood supporter inks premiership tattoo FOOTBALL By ZAIDA GLIBANOVIC

YOU'RE never too old. The 96-year-old Magpies-mad Jack Darling forever memorialised his love for the 2023 premiership team on his skin - recently going under the tattoo needle. Heading to Blackscot Tattoo shop on Tarwin Street, Morwell, Darling had his mind and heart set on a Magpie tattoo. "Well I said when Collingwood made the Grand Final, I said if they win the Grand Final, I'll get a tattoo," he laughed. Following through with his word fresh off that premiership elation, it was straight to the ink shop for the diehard fan. "I've been a staunch Collingwood barracker since I was 10-years-old," Darling proudly said. "I had an old uncle and aunty that lived in Abbotsford which is not far from Victoria Park. So, me and my brother, he's a bit older than me, he said 'I'll take you to the football'. "We got there and my brother said 'I'm gonna barrack for the navy Blues' so I said 'I'm gonna barrack for the mighty Magpies'." Having been alive for 11 out of the 16 Collingwood premierships, Darling said this flag was incredibly special. "They're just a wonderful team. The coach and that - they're just magnificent," Darling said. Still over the moon about Collingwood's premiership, Darling said he hopes to add more Magpie related ink to his Collingwood collection - already planning for another tattoo if the Pies get up again next year.

Happy chap: Jack Darling went under the tattoo gun to commemorate his mighty Magpies winning their record equalling 16th premiership. Photographs supplied "I'll be getting another date on my arm if we do (go back-to-back)," he said. "I'm 96-years-old, I might not be there then but I'm hoping I will be." A footy fan through-and-through, Darling has followed every Pies game closely. With the narrow winning margins the team has had over the last few years, you'd think Darling's heart would need a check-up.

Too cool: Morwell Neighbourhood House gifted Darling a signed jumper for his 96th birthday. "I watch every game on the telly, I watch any football - I'm just mad on football," he said. Everyone knows just how mad Darling is for the Pies. Having had his 96 birthday earlier in the year, Morwell Neighbourhood House organised a surprise birthday party for him. Morwell Neighbourhood House was nice enough to go to great lengths to arrange a Collingwood signed jersey for Darling, with every single players inscription decorating the grand birthday gift.

Recalling his birthday, Darling proudly told the Express about his amazing gift and how "everyone on the Collingwood list has signed it". Latrobe City Councillor and Morwell Neighbourhood House Manager, Tracie Lund said "Jack is a passionate Collingwood supporter and we gifted him a jersey signed by this year's players". "After Collingwood's incredible Grand Final win Jack got a tattoo of his beloved Pies. A fitting tribute for the victory," she said. "You are one cool cat, Jack. I want to be just like you when I'm 96." Though Darling's love of the Magpies is clear to see, in plain sight on his shoulder, he said that if his wife we're still alive today, perhaps she wouldn't take too kindly to the body modification. "My wife passed away about two years ago now after 73 years of marriage .... that's a very long time ... it would have been interesting if she was still alive about the tattoo business ... I don't think she would've liked it," he laughed. Passing on his love of Collingwood to his youngest son, Darling said his youngest was definitely "mad on Collingwood". Readers will rejoice in the fact that the photos taken of Darling's tattoo were before the 96-year-old returned to the tattoo shop to get the Magpies feet inked on and the tattoo complete. "When I first got it I got home and I didn't notice it but nearly everyone that looked at it said 'it hasn't got any feet'', and I looked and it didn't have feet," Darling chuckled. "I had to go back and get the feet on, so that made it okay". Darling was the oldest person the tattooist at Blackscot Tattoo had ever tattooed - and perhaps one of the coolest.

Stars begin to announce VNL squad THE newly-formed Victorian Netball League club - Gippsland Stars - have just announced their key players that will lead them into season 2024. After a successful try-out period a 15-player squad was selected for the 23 and Under VNL Team, and a further 15 young athletes were selected for the Stars Pathway team that would compete in the State Super Netball series. The renowned successful Sale Football Netball Coach, Jo Ballinger has taken the head coach role. "A prominent Gippsland local Jo needs no introduction to the Gippsland netball community," a Gippsland Stars spokesperson said. "She is the current Gippsland Sports Academy Netball coach and also has coaching roles with the Gippsland League representative sides and as A Grade and Junior coach at Sale Football Netball Club." A wealth of VNL experience in her assistant coaching role with Hawks, Ballinger will be a key to starting up the Stars netball program. "I feel honoured and privileged to lead the Gippsland Stars in the programs first season of VNL," Ballinger said. "This is such a fantastic opportunity for me and for the athletes in our region to showcase our talents on a larger scale and inspire others Gippslanders to play or coach at a higher level. "To say I'm excited is an understatement and I can't wait to get to work with the rest of our amazing team and contribute to further growth on netball in Gippsland." Ballinger will be joined by another local legend Stacie Gardiner who will take on the roles as assistant coach. Gardiner has had an extensive career as a VNL Championship player at the Peninsula Waves. The experienced goal attack has a career highlight reel like no other and will be a key to nurturing the success of the team. Her VNL experience with elite programs and her ability to work with our players will be vital to the Stars program in 2024. She has coach strong coaching background as a premiership coach in the Gippsland League with Drouin Netball Club and was named the Gippsland League A Grade coach of the year in 2023. Gardiner has also coached and managed Open

Experience: Jo Ballinger will lead the Gippsland Stars as head coach. teams in the Victorian Community Championships and a number of Open level programs. "Bringing VNL to Gippsland provides all aspiring netballers the opportunity to be apart of a highperformance netball program," Gardiner said. "This is a chance to challenge, learn and build a brand that is the Gippsland Stars. As a proud Gippslander I’m so honoured to be appointed assistant coach and work along side Head coach, Jo Ballinger. "The opportunity to be apart of the Gippsland Stars is exciting and I can’t wait to get started." The Stars have got off to a flying start, signing their first ever players. Anna Solomon has made history to be the Gippsland Stars' first ever player signing. The athletic Morwell FNC defender made waves in the Gippsland League last season. One of the Tigers' best in the Gippsland League A Grade Grand Final and experienced in VNL with Casey's Under 19s extended squad, Solomon will be a great addition to the side. Drouin's Lucy McKellar will join Solomon in the ring. Another proven VNL athlete, McKeller was in the Hawks Under 19 VNL squad, brining her experience to the side. Hailing all the way from Bairnsdale to showcase our regional talent, Alison Dwyer will join the defensive team. Playing in Melb Uni Lightning in the VNL,

Dwyer will no doubt star playing for her region. Moe's A Grade premiership player Hollie Bugeja will also take the court for the Stars, having played for the Ariels, Bugeja will have no trouble at Victoria's highest standard of netball. Traralgon shooting star, Sophie Lecchino joins the Stars after a stellar season, shooting 400 goals for the Maroons. The young up-and-comer Charlize Traumanis has made Longwarry proud after being selected into the Stars squad. From the Ellinbank and District competition, the tall shooter has a promising future in VNL. Paris Dunkley, that's right that famous Gippsland name returns to the local sports scene. Dunkley joined her netball superstar cousin, Lara, in Queensland - and while she didn't play for the Firebirds, young Paris was outstanding for the Brisbane South Wildcats and will bring her talent back to the region. The Morwell premiership player, Chloe Radford will be joining teammate Solomon at the Stars for the new netball season in 2024. The young midcourter was a Gippsland League All Star in 2023 and will now represent her region. Joining Moe FNC teammate, Bugeja, Charlize Bird will line up for the Stars. Bird has won two A Grade premierships at Moe in 2018 and 2023 as an athletic and hard-running midcourter. With previous VNL development experience, Bird is all set for a breakout year at the Gippsland Stars. Emma Felsovary from Karingal and Brooke De Riter from Drouin will also join the star studded line up. The pride of the North Gippsland League, Heyfield's Jayde Parsons will join the VNL team. Parsons has made moves in her short career - having just moved up to A Grade from juniors, the young gun will be apart of the 19 and Under pathway team but also a part of the Stars squad. Experienced representative coach Roger Palmer will lead the Gippsland Stars Development team in 2024. "Roger has a wealth of coaching experience in Gippsland and Melbourne as both a club and representative coach. Roger is the current U17 State Titles coach for Gippsland and has a long resume including experience in Association Championships, Gippsland Storm and State Titles teams," the Stars posted. "We are excited to have Roger join the Gippsland

Moe Racing Club set for modern upgrade HORSERACING

MOE Racing Club will have a facelift in the new year, with an investment from the state government to increase the quality and accessibility of its facilities. The project will deliver new and improved jockey rooms, and a redesign of the admin building. To improve accessibility, new bathroom facilities for people with disabilities or compromised mobility will be built along with a lift to improve access to upper levels of the administration building installed. The $1 million investment from the Victorian Racing Industry Fund will support the project, with the Moe Racing Club contributing almost $2 million and Racing Victoria providing a further $300,000. This project will ensure jockeys, trainers and staff attending Moe Racecourse are provided with high quality and fit-for-purpose facilities on race days. Minister for Racing Anthony Carbines welcomed

the upgrades last week, which have been co-funded between the state government, Moe Racing Club and Racing Victoria. “We look forward to watching the Moe Racing Club grow and thrive as this project provides much-needed upgrades to the jockey rooms and the 50-year-old administration building,” he said. The community will also benefit, with the creation of 80 jobs during the construction phase, which began in July this year and is expected to be completed by April 2024 in time for the club's ANZAC Day meeting. Moe Racing Club Chairman Michael Vanderfeen said the collaboration was a positive one. “We would like to thank the Victorian government for their continued support and commitment to our club and the Moe Racecourse," he said. "We look forward to enjoying these upgrades for years to come.” The long-awaited Traralgon Cup is now just under a month away, scheduled for Sunday, December 3.

Stars in 2024 to help develop our future VNL." In a landmark moment for netball in Gippsland, the Gippsland League has secured a licence to operate a team in the VNL. The Gippsland Stars will join the competition from 2024 in the newlycreated 23 & Under division before entering both the Championship and 23 & Under divisions in future seasons. “We’re excited to welcome the Gippsland Stars to the Victorian Netball League in 2024,” said Netball Victoria Performance Competitions Manager Stacey O’Neill. “The Stars’ inclusion will mean more opportunities for talented athletes, coaches and officials from across the Gippsland region. We know Gippsland is a passionate netball heartland and we’re looking forward to working with the club to ensure our competition is even stronger and more exciting in 2024 and beyond.”
